>>James,1) in terms of shorting net stocks, do you maintain a hard and fast % increase that would cause you to cover...<< Ike, I'm no shorter. In my entire portfolio right now I have only 2 shorts eBay and Amazn. Re Amzn. I used to have a max pain of a 5 point loss per trade. I saved my ass many times using that discipline. Today I don't care. Amzn would have to jump up 40 points, and eBay 25, before I'm no longer playing with the house's $money. As far as Yhoo,eBay and Amzn. I choose not to mess with Yhoo because I actually do like its long term prospects, if not its lofty stock price. As far as ebay that's just another fad, and Amzn will just be another Southland Corp's 7/11 convenience chain.

Borders.com Newsletter Volume 2, Number 7 Thursday, July 29, 1999 Dear Friend of Borders.com: During my teens and early twenties, I spent countless hours in front of a turntable and a tape deck, grinding out mix tape after mix tape of music culled from my vast collection of vinyl. Surviving mixes offer a snapshot of a moment in time during my musical evolution. Maybe not Smithsonian material, but an historical document nonetheless. I still love a good mix, but with the recordable CD thing about ready to blow, why bother anymore with brittle, deteriorating audiotape? So while I wait for CD dubbing technology to settle into a sensible price range, the soundtrack has stepped up to fill my mix tape void. If you're like me and often find yourself the last person in the theater waiting out the credits to discover who sang that one killer cut, then you'll enjoy our roundup of this summer's extraordinarily strong stable of movie soundtracks. After looking over the list, read the Borders Staff Review of the "Eyes Wide Shut" soundtrack, which, as Borders.com's Jeffrey Lucas explains, is as mesmeric as the movie. Summer Soundtracks: email.borders.com Eyes Wide Shut Staff Review: email.borders.com A BRIDGET JONES BLESSING -- This week's Grrrl Talk wants to know, "Is it so wrong to love 'Bridget Jones's Diary'?" Apparently not, as Grrrl Talk columnist Jessica Jernigan recently discovered. And in case you haven't read Helen Fielding's runaway hit yet, read Grrrl Talk for a free (you heard me right) and easy way to get on board the Bridget Jones bandwagon.
