Morning Dealer, Good to have you back. The thread was doubly quiet this weekend without you and Coonaz. Although this little uproar with jkc livened things up a bit. Got to go examine someone's eyes; be back later. Joel

Hi Dealer, did you post this? I found it in the SI news on Q. If so then everyone disregard.... "The Long & The Short of It Saturday, Mar. 18, 2000 15:22 PDT By William L.

As the century came to a close, I wrote a column that picked on five companies that I felt would have a tough time in 2000. I called them my "Top 5 Shorts for 2000." I thought it was time to check back in on them. So far, only one of them is clearly beating the market and in positive territory for the year -- Best Buy (BBY). It?s up about 30% for the year and trading at a P/E of 50. In second place, MarketWatch.com Inc. (MKTW) is just above water for the year and neck-and-neck with the S&P 500.

Fourth place goes to Qualcomm (QCOM), a stock that?s had the wind knocked out of it and is down about 23% this year. Bringing up the rear, and sucking serious wind, is VA Linux Systems (LNUX), the most over-hyped IPO of all time, which is down 52% this year.
