ANTC warned this morning. Odds are this will have a negative effect on CSCO and the whole group.

You don't get the interest on the value of the stock you short. if you have 10,000 in cash you can short 20,000 worth of stock you must maintain the 50% cash to short ratio at all times. you get interest on you cash but you don't on the sale of the stock. you borrowed the stock and sold it. it makes sense that if you don't have to pay interest to borrow you shouldn't make interest on the sale. I thought this rally would have gone until in the election. Fortunately I am in cash as usual :) Will be shorting today i think...I guess we will see what the futures do... I think the longs of this board are in denial of how bad this wcom att and sprint news is for csco. It's terrible. The big telcos are all up the S* creek...the little "startup" will be "closing down shop soon" The financials have huge exposer to teleco bonds. the bond market is closed to teleco...the financials are f*ed.
