<..I can't pass up the opportunity to remind you of your recent flaming of the "hypsters" over on the Amati thread who dared engage in such emotionally charged verbage. Now that it's your turn, I supose that the rules have changed......yeah I thought so...> Only a chump answers his own empty accusations, Schmed. Too bad, but then you've already acknowledged here as being one of the Amati hypsters. Short squeeze (or SQUEEEEZE) isn't "hype". It's a fact that WCII has a significant short position which increased last month: Shares Short Avg Daily Volume S/A 01/98 4,862,343 1,261,793 3.85 12/97 4,348,057 677,549 6.42 and which LIKELY accounts for a good portion of today's action, which was a question I was offering my opinion on. Or didn't you bother to read the whole exchange (or other substantive details)? And my critique of the Amati hypsters were toward folks (perhaps, like yourself) who didn't bother to do any real due diligence, often not knowing much at ALL about what they were talking about, but which nonetheless never stopped them from attacking my and other's critical questions and comments with their mindless blather retorts such as "Short" and "yer muthuh". I maintained for most of last year that major ADSL deployments were at least a year to two off - that the Bells would delay. So who does it look like got THAT one right? I guess I shoulda known. Once a "cheerhead", always a cheerhead. Oh well. But rather than make useless comments, why don't you provide some of the WCII bear story that I've been actively soliciting here? Or don't you bother with details, finding bleating being so much easier? Some free advise, Schmed: your brain can be your friend.
