Roger, <Selling short is about as popular as being an undertaker. And I know two brothers who do both!!!!> There is a lot of differences, for we have people dying to get to use us, where as the longs will fight and will never give up on a stock they have fallen in love with! All one has to do is go to the ZITL or IOM thread as examples and read the post and to this day you still have those that will not give up! Hank P.S.-What is your take on ETEC stock rise the last few days?

Roger, I am not a TA buff myself. I am not fully convinced that it will work perfectly. I give about 80% weightage to FA. But, if your FA agrees with TA, go for it. Re. CTXS - perhaps you remember the days I was bullish on Citrix. While I agreed with you on valuation being high, I thought it would go higher (from low 40's - before the big crash last spring) towards 70. I was looking at it as a pure NT related momentum play. After a couple of talks with their PR guy, and the last spring cunning action of the insiders, I have lost respect for the CTXS management. You are possibly right in your assessment - they are out to sell stock not a product. If telling truth is being unamerican, so be it. Ignore those idiots who don't know any better. Good luck! -Mohan
