<<there's better shorts out there>> Like most of the Nasdaq 100, for example? Floyd Norris thinks so. nytimes.com "The [NDX] is now trading at 811 times the combined earnings of the companies in the index. ... The ratio, which had never been above 165 before this year, reflects the fact that many Nasdaq companies are reporting huge losses for 2000, when their financial results are analyzed using generally accepted accounting principles, known as GAAP. That trend has been obscured, however, because many companies adjust the numbers in ways that make profits appear to be rising."
