Silicon speed demons... (networking uses more & more silicon)

"Semico Research... predicts that the demand for the chips used in networking equipment will increase 20% every year through 2001, a market which generated about $16 billion in sales in 1997."

Hope Utek takes advantage of this growth.

The article from WORTH magazine (online) - a bear-like view:

worth.com

"Like many short sellers in the current bull market, DAVID
TICE suffered a frustrating 1997, as his short-selling fund,
Prudent Bear Fund, turned in a total return of negative 4.3
percent. Yet his previous picks-er, pans-for Worth have proved
exceedingly prescient: His ten stocks in Worth's July/August
issue, for example, have already fallen some 20 percent..."

Of note, he is also betting against high flying Dell & Yahoo stocks.
"Velly interesting" (from those who remember Laugh-In)

Kirk: RE:<You should thank Worth as it will encourage more silly shorts>

I'm going to type out a thank you note to Worth Magazine right now. I agree with your comments about the Buffet Letter and how we should be glad when the price of UTEK is low. I too look forward to the opportunity to buy a few more shares at $18 in the near future.

BTW, It's amazing how low UTEK daily volume has fallen to. If I were short, I'd sure be worried about the size of the door to cover right now.

Do you (or anyone else) know when NASDAQ shorts are announced for March?
