Welcome back Stagger. Still short? No wonder that $45 comment woke you up.

Stagger, If you still short, you have one or two more chances to see THQI under $20 (but in the high teens). Make sure you cover soon or you will be sorry. aC

Hey SOL, I was hoping you would return. Say, let's update everyone on the progress of our top picks for 1998. You had your picks of longs and shorts, and I had mine. I'll be the first to update everyone on the details: Here's the original post (keep in mind that SMTC has since split 2-1): Message 3070166 % price change since end of 1997: 1.THQI-- Down 5.7% 2.SMTC-- Up 52.1% 3.LUFK-- Down 11.2% 4.CD-- Up 6.2% 5.CCSC-- Up 14.8% (up 50.2%, assuming stock trades at Monday's buyout price) 6.NOV-- Down 1.9% That means that a $1,000 investment in each stock at the closing prices of 1997 ($6,000 total investment) would be worth $6,643 as of 2/16. If you consider the fact that CCSC has just signed an agreement to be acquired by Tellabs for $41.875 per share, the return for CCSC should be close to 50%, and the value on my 6 picks would be $6997, a return of 17%. I believe that is significantly better than the overall market, but maybe your AOL short position has allowed you to best my efforts {:o) I believe LUFK releases earnings today (Tuesday). SMTC releases earnings tomorrow. THQI releases earnings next Tuesday. It should be interesting. So, Stag- how's your 1998 goin'? Todd
