Are you adding to NLI here? I had covered at 7.50 and had planned on getting back in at 8. When it didn't look like it was going to make it I got back in yesterday with a half position at about 7.40. Should have used stops instead. WEBX looking good! Steve

I am with you short on NLI. The run up has me a little concerned, though. Your math indicates clearly that they do not have the cash flow to meet their ongoing debt service. I did the same math and came to the same conclusions. The risk element, though, is in their ability to borrow more to continue. It seems to me that many cable/utility type companies have an ability to borrow no matter how bad the balance sheet seems, based on a value that is ascribed to each subscriber in the market. The question, then, is how much is NLI worth on a per sub basis. I am also unclear on how much of their business is cable vs. telecom or internet. Have you taken the time to dissect their balance sheet. I have not, but will try to do so. I think, (hope) that your analysis is correct, in which event, we should probably load up further on the short side. Brad
