CL: sorry about the delay. Was checking my notes and realized I had already looked at PNDA. Unfortunately my note was a very short one:

(OK to short technology may make it dangerous trading around 7 high of 9)

My recollection is that the cad/cam workstations they make may go nowhere (if SUNW, HPW, DELL, Silicon Graphics are competitors). What makes PNDA dangerous for me is that in the little time I devoted to it, I did not understand the big picture [reason] for shorting. Given your background, you probably do. If this is the case and you feel this is a dog "a la BFIT". Go ahead and short it.

Another reason is that rightly or wrongly I prefer to short stocks trading over 10 due to less demanding margin requirements.

Sorry I could not be of any more help.

Pancho
