Steve, It's been a while but I wanted to updated you on Bills picks. I spent a few minutes looking at charts at nasdaq.com today (Sun Mar 1, 1998). If you double-click on the NASDAQ charts, it will display the numbers used for the chart. I looked at the closing price for Feb 27 1998 and the closing price for May 30, 1997 (Bill apparently made his predictions on the weekend 6/1/1997). Here are the numbers: 5/30/97 2/27/98 Delta ACLY 17.750 22.938 + 05.188 DDIM 30.313 13.625 - 16.688 IMRS 23.417 47.875 + 24.458 VIAS 53.000 27.000 - 26.000 ZITL 23.250 13.875 - 09.375 __________________________________________________ Sum 147.73 125.313 - 22.417 So what does this mean? hmm, if I bought 1 share of each of these securities then I would be down 22.4 dollars (-15%). If I shorted each of these securities then I would be up 22.4 dollars. Gee, what a difference two weeks makes. As I've never before shorted a company what should I do with this research. Regards Tom ps: I know there is a Y2K problem. I just do not believe in most of the companies that are trying to take advantage of the problem.
