To All: year end effects............ Many investors have large profits in the "high fliers" and do not wish to pay taxes in 1997. That is why I covered most of my shorts before December 1st and expect the market to go higher. There is also a secondary year end effect of short sellers wanting to take losses. In stocks with a recent run up and having large short positions, this can lead to a sharp year end spike up as we saw with Zitel last year. These are great shorting opportunities, but you must be careful about squeezes. I can see potential for spikes in AOL and YHOO this year. Others?
