<<appriciate your input since u obviously would know financial real well if u r shorting.>>

LOL. Suggest you re-read the header to this thread. (g)

I considered these four as potential shorts based on their exposure to foreign derivative risks, the deterioration of foreign economies and the trend indicated in all of their charts for the last two months. If you are going long then CCI has the lowest exposure on a percentage basis as of figures available last spring. I have no idea whether they are now good longs. Perhaps on a short term basis, but I am not so sure about a two year time frame. I don't hold any long or short right now but am awaiting the appearance of the new trend whatever that may be.

The following thread has a good discussion going about derivatives which you might want to check out, though they aren't discussing specific stocks.
