AD agreed. It was the latter fill that got my goat. I have become spoiled with INTC... only 'slumed' <g> over to AMAT today because it stayed down more than INTC after naz early rally. Irony is I called it right and had stop triggered would have been about a quick 600 or so instead of loss. Ah well a cheap lesson compared to others available to be had each and every market day. RO

AD and shorters, OT *** short squeeze Smart Money has a screen to find stocks with short squeeze potential [Neiman Marcus is one of 49]. yahoo.smartmoney.com excerpt Yet you might not realize that we were in a recession when perusing the latest Neiman Marcus catalog. It features a jar of face cream for $1,200 and a deluxe helicopter for $6.7 million. No wonder so many investors are tripping over themselves to short shares of the higher-than-high-end department store. Theoretically, it would take 19 trading days (almost four weeks) to cover all the Neiman short positions. In the meantime, the analysts who follow Neiman rate it a Buy for its long-term prospects. We smell squeeze potential. I suppose those stocks are too dangerous to short now because of the squeeze potential? Gottfried
