I also have no problem shorting most stocks wwith Etrade. About execution, its been very strange the way it handles NYSE listed stocks, I could pace a limit buy or sell order at 35, the stock moves between 34 and 36 many times and my order never gets executed for 2 days. I have no problem with NASDAQ stocks through Etrade.

If I did not have a boat load already I would be shorting more. I will short more at 29-30 if it gets there. This DOG should just about be at the end of its rope. Volume is drying up...lets hope its not just taking a breather? It is definitely being manipulated. I do not plan to to hold until the next earning report because this is how long it could take to realize a profit or longer. Hopefully we can hit the bottom of the bollinger bands around 20 1/2... I'll gladly take that small loss. As you can see this is the best run this stock has had.....an 8point drop won't be enough for me....but I learned my lesson here! I guess the problem here is in the earnings estimates for '98? 4Q97 -17 1997 - 1.77 1998 .26?????? Not enough analysists following this trash!!!!! Jeff
