<<<ANYONE GOT A GOOD SHORT PLAY---besides Daddy Doggy Dog's FGII >>> I'll say it again.............NKE Why are we having a contest on what oil services to short?? I think you'd be stupid to short any of these stocks right now. Why do something where your risk is enormous and your reward is miniscule? I'm going to short NE at 9x earnings of 3.11 for '99 that have been revised down several times already???? Doesn't sound like investing to me, more like suicide. -Lucretius

Lisa,<<<ANYONE GOT A GOOD SHORT PLAY---besides Daddy Doggy Dog's FGII >>> I loaded up on May puts on KO, and IBM. KO is estimated to have decreasing earnings (analysts cut em 7% last week) for the next 2 years (per 1st call), while selling @ an increasing P/E of ~ 50. (75/1.60)https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=3822495 IBM will have channel probs (like CPQ),Asian and currency translation problems. Also as both are Dow components, when the correction happens (if?), the Dow will get hit hard, as people are climbing over each other to get out ahead of the others Dave

Lisa writes: ANYONE GOT A GOOD SHORT PLAY---besides Daddy Doggy Dog's FGII Try WAND. Overvalued and depending on a hyped-up product that doesn't work and a recent foreign offering @ $6 per share. No earnings out for Q4 '97 yet and you got to wonder why.

"ANYONE GOT A GOOD SHORT PLAY---besides Daddy Doggy Dog's FGII" Of course -- Zonagen (ZONA): They hype (at least months till FDA submission) a product they are developing for ED (erectile dysfunction). Unfortunately (for them), it has no pharmacological efficacy and Viagra was just approved -- probably his doggieness' "jump in the truck" works much better, as well. I've been short for some time. There is a ZONA thread here on SI. I am also short ZITL, a year 2000 scam. Please note, this is not an investment recommendation, blah blah blah drsvelte
