Found a goodie. nasdaq.com 24.43 days short interest at 58K/day volume Today's volume = 151K (also no signs of insider selling) Up today= varies, but 25% or better Why? bigcharts.marketwatch.com Neon Communications up 60 pct in wake of WTC attack MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2001 1:36 PM - Reuters NEW YORK, Sept 17 (Reuters) - Shares of fiber optic network firm Neon Communications (NASDAQ NM:NOPT) rose more than 60 percent on Monday, as investors scrambled to find communications networks that could withstand assaults like the Sept. 11 attack on the World Trade Center. Neon shares rose $1.45, or 60.4 percent, to $3.85, on the Nasdaq. The company sells fiber-optic capacity to telecommunications carriers, Internet service providers and cable TV operators. Many of the company's fiber optic cables lie on land and rights-of-way owned by utility companies, which may help network users avoid putting all of their communications eggs in one basket -- a key concern, analysts said, in the wake of last week's attacks that disrupted communications throughout the Northeast. "Redundant telecoms facilities are becoming more important," said an analyst who asked to remain anonymous. "Neon has alternate facilities in many locations that are different than the traditional telecoms carriers." Neon has struggled in recent months amid the telecommunications spending slowdown, announcing Aug. 14 that it was cutting its work force by 14 percent, or 167 employees. REUTERS Rtr 13:36 09-17-01

Thanks, Hopefully I am wrong but with the United States planning a long war and the closeness of the Islamic people I would rather have osx stocks. How long will Pakistan , Saudi Arabia and others support the U.S. after the war starts? Will Iraq stop shipments or cause some other problems? Will the war on one, bring the rest of the nations together. What they did to us is evil. Why, is even harder to comprehend. I would hope that this war helps rid these countries of terrorist and that their own countrymen will despise them for the pain they have brought to their families. If oil does drop below 18$ then I will began buying the future.
