Hey Lee, it looks like that "special deal" you and Taxi were working on in Arkansas got squashed. What happened? Bama abnews.com

The Zen of Shorting Internets The great Chu Mei Ash of course never encountered the internet stock phenomenom. However I felt I could surely put his principals to the task of pounding those dogs. So I was delighted to see KTEL take off and the first day of its surge I belted it with a hefty short near the end of the day. I was sure my mentor Chu Mei Ash was gazing down in pride. Almost imeadiately after I discovered that whatever Chu Mei Ash's feelings were about my short it was not pride. What I had actually done was the market equivilent of pulling off my shoe and pumping not one but several rounds into the exposed foot. At this point I frantically sought help in the 'Zen of Shorting' and 'Candlestick Shorts', to my dismay I found nothing that could help in all my frenzied searching. I was left to my own devices and market skills. It was at this point I noticed I had another foot. I popped another fine fat short on top of the first. While I am not sure what Chu Mei Ash would make of my moves. I do feel that were I to meet him the first words I would hear would be along the lines of "Well small ignorant pond scum. While wisdom may be yours someday, I fear that the gods will have to drop all other tasks to attend to that labor before it can be achieved." But the master might have tossed me a compliment, one can never tell. Something like "I was impressed at how deftly you covered your losses the next day. Truly you managed to lower your losses from catastrophic to hideous." Druss
