ctxs is a great short!! Many Momentum Investors are busy locking in their 1997 profits and Smart Money is quickly rotating into other sectors, or stays at the sideline for the year end.
I am still in great doubt about AOL and YAHOO. Momentum is still in place and some negative comments/announcements should be necessary to kick off the ultimate big bang. Might be too early right now.
Another stock that I stumbled upon is Novellus (NVLS) downgraded by several analysts in the past few weeks, although this is not the main reason to start shorting. Maybe we should wait a while until Novellus trades at higher levels, but I am not sure if that will happen at all in due course. I remember the days that it traded at 80 and IBD touted this darling. And..how will MU impact the NVLS performance?
Anyway I appreciate to hear your comments on this puppy.

Michael B.

P.S.: Anyone has an medium-term target for ctxx? I will be covering in the low sixties. It can be there in no time though.

Jon, Between the three companies that I am involved with, we buy about 3 computers per month on average. We are getting the best price and by far the most reliable service from our Packard Bell machines. Our worst machines are from Gateway, they are good about fixing them but then they get a lot of practice. We only go to Dell or Gateway for portables or Pentium Pro machines now, everything else is Packard Bell from Circuit City store.
