Sam, I think maybe it was Investors Business Daily, but it may have been Barrons. I still have Barrons and I will be reading it again this afternoon and I will look. I have thrown away IBD already. Ken

Sam, this from Barrons, April 17,2000 (tomorrow), page 52 "April 10, heavy specialist shorting has continued for the second straight week and many indicators have become bearish. On Friday the NYSE reported that its own specialists accounted for 52.7% of all shorting volume on the exchange for the week ending March 24, which was the second highest level of the past year. A week earlier the specialist shorting had been 54.3% of all shorting volume, the highest level in several years. " No reference in anything I have read that this is not legal, just very bearish. Don't remember any stats for last week, but seems I read speculation that the shorting had increased, but I can't verify that. Ken
