>>>I don't short stocks, but it looks like CDN was a better short than AVNT. Any
comments?<<<

If I had known a week ago that there would be a tech meltdown and Costello! would resign I would have shorted CDN! and gone long AVNT!. Things are always 100% predictable in hindsight. The reason that CDN! has fallen more sharply than AVNT! is because CDN! was at an all time high, with lots of confidence in both the company's and the markets future. Now people are worried about both. People were already worried about Avant!'s future. The fact that Avant! could only do a meager test of the 50 day ma on the Costello! resignation was pathetic. Now, two years ago the much better play was short Avant! and long CDN!. Oh, that's that darn hindsight again.
