***OFF TOPIC***Tom, I'm disappointed in you. As a loyal (former?) shareholder of APM, you should be buying more shares of APM and helping to support the stock price.

The only reason I was trying to short the stock was to try to get back some of the money I lost. It's not that I have anything against APM or Mr. Crisman. Mr. Crisman painted pretty pictures for the posters on the APM threads, and if official reports to the financial community (Wall Street, Salomon Bros.) didn't exactly match the pretty pictures painted by Mr. Crisman, there was probably a lack of communication somewhere.

But as a loyal shareholder of APM, it's your duty to support the stock price while I'm trying to figure out a way to short the stock.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's worthwhile paying around $24,500 for 10 APM April 45 puts.

So I'm still looking for a way to get back some of my losses.

Are you still long APM, QNTM, WDC and SEG? My impression is that you've dumped APM and WDC, but still hold positions in QNTM and SEG.
Please read my previous post, about the Roxanne Googin interview. If what she says is accurate, the information is valuable. If what she says in inaccurate, the information is still valuable to help explain the disk drive sector volatility. What she says is not new in itself (about the $1000 PC), but the meaning of the $1000 PC and how it can change the economics of the entire PC sector is made more clear--at least to me.

I think you're old enough to remember the mini-computer (DEC and Wang).

May we all get back some of our losses.

-Larry
