Nothing really to add, just looking to move the thread up on the hot list. My G* shares are sitting quite happily in my retirement account where they are (so far) sinking like a stone, tax deferred, and unmarginable. A short squeeze would be just the right picker-upper to celebrate my birthday just after the GGMDM. I wonder if (and these are big ifs...) George Dubyuh gets elected and Social Security gets privatized, would we be allowed to buy on margin in our employment-tax funded retirement accounts? That would certainly liven things up! -Michael

Look what I got in my PM in-tray: <Hi, I'm a reporter with WSJ.com, the web site for the Wall Street Journal. I noticed the Memorial Day Massacre thread you started on SI, I'm interested in talking with you about it. I think it makes for a good message board story, which is what I cover. I have a tight deadline, and realize our schedules are different if you are in New Zealand, but I'd like to write something up by tonight, New York time. Please give me a call if you can and are willing, collect is OK. > She also gave some contact details, [not included here in case she doesn't want to be public - can't see why I should respect privacy of news media people, since they are not usually too worried about people and privacy, but oh well, that's me]. Meanwhile, there is a LOT of fun underway again in the Nasdaq. Has anyone got white knuckles yet or their heart in their mouth? Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee............... Mqurice PS: I hope somebody monitors WSJ.com to see if they mention the word 'dehypothecated' and cover the GGMDM cyberspace 4G air-interface. Re your article about biosecurity, New Zealand is still free of snakes, though they arrive sometimes in freight. In 1996 we were sprayed with pesticide from a DC3 [that's an old kind of aeroplane for those who snap whippers] quite a few times to eliminate a potentially destructive moth which had taken up residence near our suburb. The spraying seems to have been successful and the people are still alive - though many moaned about the mist and blamed it for all human ailments.
