WCOM: The upgrade before the market open on options expiration day, combined with the high short interest will/is creating aa squeeze. Can this be a plot by the investment house trying to make a fortune on the squeeze? IMO ethics has no place in many of these businesses. Pancho PS: I am long the stock at 19. Just waiting for the 18 months to go by to get rid of it.

CIEN: any one watching the fall? Wasn't this supposed to be the invincible stock? The problem is that when a situation like AOL develops and you are short you fill like the sucker will never come back down. This is BS! even stocks with moderate volatility have a price range that goes to about 50% below from the 52 week high. In the case of AOL, we are talking about a very volatile stock with an astronomical PE! I assure you it will come down... Just a matter of time... Of course, one needs to have the respourses to supply the ever increasing need for cash... Pancho
