Jim and Dave,

I too was interested in the HHH (stock). What I learned upon doing some research is that it is not shortable, and will probably not be optionable. It is also not market cap weighted. It is essentially an in house mutual fund from Merrill. It appears to me that it is just Merrill Lynch's attempt to grab some internet buy and holders. It is not the same animal as QQQ, DIA, or SPY (the AMEX spiders). I only wish that AMEX would create a similar instrument. If you guys find out anything further, please post as I am interested in trading an instrument like this (but I want to go long and short). Matt

Dave; I just tried to short QQQ at 129 and no shares are available
at waterhouse, this is the first time I ever couldn't get shares
to short. :-( almost tells me she is going to drop for sure.
