Hi Fred: I thought that's what you meant. I too would love shorting some of these Net stocks now but I'm also weak! VRSN has taught me that it's not worth the stress. It'd be one thing if I was a career investor. It's another given that I got a full time job to deal with-- as an interactive media producer. From the work I do it's all the more tempting to short some these stocks that are valued as if the companies were sent on a mission with backing from the heavens. So I'd ride this one out a long time if I have to and I know it'll pay of, but I think that's the end of my shorting career (unless positions are held very short term). Thanks for your feedback and useful analysis. Eric
