People are worried anout SEA impact on DEC but ASIA only account for 20% of DEC sale vs 60% of DEC sale for international. That means Europe account for 40% of DEC sale. Has any one notice how much Europe market has increased in 1997? and their market health ? I personnaly think SEA and Europe will cancel each other effect. On differrent subject, FIRST CALL has DEC EPS at $0.43, while Zack number is $0.48. If I remember correctly DEC EPS was estimated in the range of $0.58 before the SEA problem. With that much EPS revision and SEA is not a major impact IMHO, I think DEC will make it number. As indicated by DEC site, EPS number will be posted on the 15th before market open. If DEC go over $40 and has mostly a white candle tomorrow, I think DEC will again on the uptrend and will probably be over $47 by the EPS anouncement date. WV.

Mike re: <<considering shorting DEC and SUNW>> Would you mind telling us at what price will you short DEC? At $52 it was a good short. Don't know at this point though. I could see shorting SUNW at these levels, but not DEC. Would you not want to short a stock when it is close to a major resistance? Good Luck, Hossein
