TeleClone Inc - Globe says TeleClone has not met margin requirements TCL Shares issued 7,250,000 1999-12-10 close $4.25 Monday Dec 13 1999 Also Nortel Networks Corp (NT) The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that TeleClone Inc. said it has not met margin requirements of a stock-lending agreement for Nortel Networks Corp. for the last three days, and the lender has given the company until the close of business Monday to deliver the additional necessary collateral. Toronto-based TeleClone still does not have any additional collateral to pledge, and if it does not do so, it will be in default under the stock loan. If that occurs, the unidentified stock lender will be entitled to terminate the stock loan and take steps to realize on its security, which would require the windup of TeleClone.

TeleClone Inc - Teleclone faces its demise as Nortel loan called in TCL Shares issued 7,250,000 1999-12-09 close $4.95 Friday Dec 10 1999 Also Nortel Networks Corp (NTL) Mr. Ed Collins reports Based on the closing prices of common shares of BCE Inc. and Nortel Networks Corp., Teleclone still does not meet its margin requirements under a stock lending agreement pursuant to which it has borrowed 5,250,976 common shares of Nortel. The terms of the stock loan require that TeleClone maintain a minimum margin of at least 105 per cent of the value of the common shares of Nortel borrowed under the stock loan. Based on the closing prices of BCE common shares and Nortel common shares on Dec. 8, 9, and 10, 1999, TeleClone did not meet those margin requirements. Under the terms of the stock loan, the stock lender gave notice on Dec. 9, and 10, 1999 that TeleClone failed to meet its margin requirements on Dec. 8, and 9, 1999. Since the market value of the common shares of BCE pledged as security under the stock loan at the close of business on Dec. 10, 1999, was not above the minimum margin requirement, TeleClone will be required to deliver additional collateral as margin to meet its margin requirements by the close of business on Dec. 13, 1999. If TeleClone does not deliver additional collateral by this time, it will be in default under the stock loan. TeleClone does not have any additional assets to pledge as collateral under the stock loan. If TeleClone defaults under the stock loan, the stock lender will be entitled to terminate the stock loan and take steps to realize on its security, which action would require the wind-up of the company. TeleClone is a financial holding company created to hold common shares of BCE, to allow holders of TeleClone's Class T shares to benefit from any capital appreciation in BCE common shares, apart from appreciation attributable to common shares of Nortel held by BCE. TeleClone's Class T shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Montreal Exchange and trade under the symbol TCL. (c) Copyright 1999 Canjex Publishing Ltd. canada-stockwatch.com

>>>...(The "compelling reason" to do this is to provide investors with a way to profit from increases in value in BCE's non-Nortel holdings.)...<<<< Nortel is one of North America's fastest growing companies. They seem to be doing everything right. The TSE is currently considering reducing Nortel's weighting because it is skewing its average (see below). The question remains: Why would anyone want to short Nortel right now?? . ===================== Nortel Networks Corp - Globe says Nortel's success may lead to index changes NT Shares issued 678,860,932 1999-12-13 close $131.1 Tuesday Dec 14 1999 Also BCE Inc (BCE) The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday Dec. 14, edition that just one year after its launch, Standard & Poor's says it may have to overhaul its benchmark Canadian stock index because of the runaway success of Nortel Networks. The Globe's Andrew Bell writes that the TSE/S&P 60 index, which is supposed to replace the old Toronto Stock Exchange 300 over the next year, may have to be changed to reduce the weighting of Nortel and affiliate BCE, which accounts for about 35 per cent of the new index. S&P has asked frustrated institutional "index users" to put forward solutions to the problem of Nortel's excessive weighting. Those solutions could include changing the rules governing the index's composition to cut the weight of Nortel and BCE -- which owns 41 per cent of Nortel. The TSE is also talking to investors about the Nortel problem, but will not say whether it is considering cutting Nortel's weighting. Both the TSE 300 and the TSE/S&P 60 give bigger weightings to companies as their stock market value climbs, usually as a result of a rising share price.

from optioninvestor.com look at # 16 (difficult to read): Nov 15 ~27 million shares, Oct 15 ~16 million shares, change is up ~11 million. Market Sentiment, Tuesday, 12/07/99 The Energizer Nasdaq! Another new high on good volume propelled the Nasdaq into stratospheric territory while the Dow and S&P are left watching the dust. Yahoo led the pace, as it has been for this last week, rocketing up another +67 as fund managers fight for the stock with all the short sellers who continue to run for cover. This continued strength in the sector is fueling other technology stocks to higher highs as bears continue to throw in the towel. This trend seems to be continuing, as most evidenced by moves today in Yahoo and Ciena, and as such, we thought it would be appropriate to show the highest short interest stocks for your benefit. Below is a list of the largest short interest issues on the NYSE and Nasdaq.
