> all you have to do is look at the fundamentals and short basically any stock- it works 100% of the time now. Indiscriminate shorting is fashionable these days. Just like indiscriminate buying on margin was in 3/00. Beware the infinite downside of shorting!

>isnt shorting so much fun now that short squeezes simpy dont happen? No, not for me. Short-sellings was easy when there were so many bloated Internet related 100-300ib pigs around. It was like going to a shooting gallery. Just pop, pop and they all fell down. >Is it possible for Verisign to be any more overvalued? Is it possible PG is overvalued? Is it possible IBM is overvalued? I never try to argue with someone on a subject where I don't have an answer. >in any case, i'm short a truckload, and have been for 6 months Good luck it looks like the current odds are still stacked on your side. >is it because everyone assumes the domain name registry business is a god given profit machine?

>Is it possible for Verisign to be any more overvalued? I don't know. I'm clueless when it comes to valuations. I always have been. >is it because everyone assumes the domain name registry business is a god given profit machine? I told you VeriSign is not all about domain names. What's this acquisition got to do with domain names? >Olympia, Wash.-based Illuminet, which is profitable news.cnet.com
