I could be wrong but I believe a small investor like myself cannot short OTC-BB stocks. If CBurnett was actually able to short DIET it may indicate that he is associated with a Market Maker or he may be using a Canadian broker. I would appreciate for anyone to correct my understanding concerning shorting of OTC-BB stocks. Thanks, in advance. BTW, the present spread of $0.12 - $0.17 is so wide you can drive a Mack truck through it pulling a flat bet carting that 1100 lb guy from Long Island.

The July issue of Good Housekeeping recommended several Internet sites involved with nutrition. They are: American Dietetic Association (ADA) eatright.org Ask the Dietitian dietitian.com Diet Site dietsite.com Dole 5 A Day dole5aday.com Meals For You mealsforyou Nutritional Analysis Tool spectre.ag.uiuc.edu Thrive thriveonline.com You can evaluate some of the competition out there. Like all Internet plays, you have to win customers to make money but first you have to get them to take a look. Remember DIET has been successful doing this and these other sites are either private or tied in to giant food companies trying to sell you more apples, etc. John
