8/14/00 – NEWS and REVIEW of CNC Articles and POSTS

Comments:

This week the battle between the CNC Shorts and Longs will continue.
Current Short Interest in CNC as of 7/14/2000 is 63,975,097 shares
Per Wall St. Jour. It is probably higher now per this link:

trading-ideas.com

Jacobs says that shorters are
”sophisticated Wall Street investors
managing other people's money.”

He thinks ” CNC the shares are worth more, “
and blames these Wall Street's hedge funds,
and the high-return investing clubs for the wealthy
for trying to short CNC.

Last Friday what was remarkable is that trading was almost halted
In the last 2 hours of trading. Volume was
20000 to 30000 shares per hour which is a minuscule part
of the average daily volume.
This suggests that shorts are having an increasingly difficult time
shorting any more.
Again, the rules to create a short squeeze:
If you own, or just bought CNC stock,
a) ask your broker to take the stock out of Street name, or
b) ask your broker to put a sell price “ good till cancelled “
at let’s say $20 or $30. That will remove it from the short lending pool..
c) or simply ask him to restrict it, ie you don’t want to have it
loaned out for shorting.
A good short squeeze could double the price of CNC to 15.
