[ Short Selling ] GD, Many a shortseller has been turned back and beaten by some hyper-issues that refuse to heed the laws of sense or gravity. I believe we are in a market now that is characterized by a sudden proliferation of such issues. I'm glad to hear that you are also looking to combine a technical short with a fundamental rationale--I believe you more or less double your odds of success with two confirming tools. Aside from YURI (which isn't ready yet), I have no other issues that I am seriously considering as a short sale candidate. As for those mega-momentum issues, I will move as far to the side as I can if I am a short-seller. We need a catalyst that will break the current mindset. I don't know what it may be, however. From my end, I know I am somewhat contributing to the figures on internet usage and e-commerce growth--Look at me, I just bought more books from Amazon.com a little while ago. I'm getting more cautious every day, but am taking advantage of opportunities that fall within my grasp. Regards, Rainier
