...and a fine list of short prospects that is! DUK? ENE? CPN (hell, I'm short that one right now!) TGT? LMGA? Regrettably, he bailed on the semis, I still think they have a ways to go. But if he threw in the towel on Sicko and JDS Phew, they might be near the bottom (notice that he sold out of them in March....right at the bottom, HO HO HO!) EDIT: Nevermind, I see he's still long in Sicko and Softee, so there's at least two tech cos you can still short!<G>

To entice reluctant customers to buy its software, Oracle offered steep discounts just before the quarter ended in May, industry analysts said. ``They wanted to make their number so badly that one big customer got a 90 percent discount,'' said industry analyst Mark Shainman of the Meta Group in Reston, Va. Last-minute discounts of 50 to 60 percent were more typical, Shainman said.
