Data Dump

STORAGENETWORKS WANTS TO CASH in on the growing need for data storage. Join the
club. The newly public company has 50 competitors, including powerhouses EMC and
Compaq. Compared with them, StorageNetworks (Nasdaq: STOR) is a minnow with 1999
sales of just $6 million. But it has a whale of a market value: $10.5 billion.

The company scored a coup by landing a recent contract with Lycos, the search-engine
outfit. But Timothy Curro, head of the Value Holdings hedge fund, isn't impressed. Reason:
StorageNetworks is plunging deeper into the red and expects to be unprofitable for the
foreseeable future.

Curro doubts that the stock, which was offered to the public in June at $27, can sustain its
current level of $119, especially with 80 million shares coming off lockup in December. Short
the stock.
