FOOL ON THE HILL
An Investment Opinion
by Dale Wettlaufer

F5 Networks (Nasdaq: FFIV), a company that makes load balancers for service providers and the enterprise market tacked on another $17 13/16 to $71 1/4. I asked the techies here about this company. They're nuts about it. They say their products rock and the company is fanatical about servicing the customer. I've asked our techies about other companies in the past. They usually don't rave like this. Look at this lineup of customers, according to a recent press release: "Exodus Communications, PSINet, MCI WorldCom, Alaska Airlines, Microsoft, Bank of America, Fidelity, Bell South, Compaq, Motorola, Oracle, Excite@Home, RealNetworks, USA Today, NASA, the IRS, the US Navy and over 400 other customers." Remember the name.

TO ALL SHORT SELLERS: Fully aware what a tempting target FFIV makes after a +17 15/16 day. Just wanted to repectfully suggest you reference the unfortunate fate of RBAK shorts culminating in a +30 squeeze today. FFIV & RBAK are both microfloat speedsters of the same design.

Here is a relevant post from the RBAK thread:

Happy shorting.
