It's a very difficult stock to predict which way it will move since it already has over 100MM shares short. I try to avoid stocks that have this high of a percentage of the float short. Good luck on the puts. More news on my favorite: 02/25/04 04:29 pm EST... S&P REITERATES BUY SHARES OF RELIANT RESOURCES (RRI 7.25***): Shares of RRI and Williams Cos. (WMB 9.2*) are up today about 9% and 5%, respectively, after WMB's announced settlement with California over refund obligations and uncollected receivables. WMB appears to have settled refund claims for about 1/3rd less than the maximum gross FERC calculated obligation and stands to collect about $140M from larger overdue receivables owed by California. We estimate RRI will collect $70M-$200M from a similar resolution. Assuming a similar 1/3rd discount on RRI's gross FERC refund calculation, RRI would collect $150M in overdue receivables. /C.Shere-CFA Jim
