Mr. Ratnam; Firstly I made no attempt to to damage your credibility. I simply responded to your words. Secondly there are perfectly reasonable explanations for the high volume of transactions on that Thursday. For example evaluate the following mythical 1000 shares: Person 1 owns 1000 shares Person 2 buys those shares for 1.75 Person 3 buys those shares from #2 for 1.85 Person 4 buys those shares from # 3 for 1.90 etc....etc...etc Person 20 buys those shares from #19 for 3.25 One block of one thousand shares which have been traded 20 times, resulting in a share volume of 40,000 (each buy is also a sell) Thirdly, I have not crashed into this discussion group. I have posted here before. Fourthly I am in no way a short seller. The dangers of going short on any stock frighten me. I do not know why you feel that it is requried that you attack me in this way. I responded to your post to Barbara to correct some misinformation that you had posted. I seek factual information at all times. Your personalization of this discussion is inappropriate. If you have a problem with being informed that your statements are incorrect perhaps you should verify what you are going to say prior to making those statements. I request a formal public apology for your mis-statements. Rick

Ravi, have you taken into account that NASDAQ volume is doubled, i.e if I sell one share and you buy that one share, then they count both trades, giving the volume as 2.

>>>As for someone openly crashing into a discussion group and claiming to be a short seller this behaviour is unprecedented. Why don't you try getting on the Yahoo chat or for the matter IRC and let everyone there know that you are looking to short Compaq. You will be abused verbally and will be in for a rude shock. <<< Umm, I do this all the time. No rude shocks here. Plenty of precedent. I just laugh at folks who think their stocks can do nothing but go up. Especially fundamentally worthless crud like BAAT. There's no way in the world that I can short this company. It's a OTC:BB stock. But believe me if I could've I would've. BTW the stock turned over 2/3 of the float because of the fact that they double count the volume, and because the traders were flipping 10 and 20k lots. The reason the stock tanked is because the pumpers were dumping. Barb
