Jeff - "I am looking for shorts badly I will appreciate any suggestions." I just shorted Zona and Onsl today, a bit too early since they're still on the way up, but I'm guessing near the top. Also shorted Zitl and Spyg after their runups. Anyone figured out what's going on with Avei? Kailash

Jeffrey... >>I am looking for shorts badly I will appreciate any suggestions.<< FWIW My shorts are as follows: ACLY: IMO good company but overvalued. Has Y2K solution for DEC VAX systems. They need a LOT of contracts to justify their market cap and it is getting late in the game for that. BFT: (Bally Fitness Centers) Losing money, no real competitive edge, price off the chart and it is not an Internet stock (G) ZITL: There are a thousand reasons for this company to be in the low single digits. Y2K company, no contracts while their competitors are racking them up. Losing money, cash burn rate will deplete their available cash by or before end of June. ZONA: Competition from PFE with their hot new product Viagra. ZONA is a one product company and will get crushed IMO. Please do your own Due Diligence and do not depend on my opinions. There are a ton of Internet stocks out there that are overpriced by any historical measurement that has ever been used but I am gun shy on all of them. Good Luck Bob T.
