Tried to short VVUS this morning, was getting tired of not making any money on the long side and they said no shares available to short, Seems all the shares have dried up the last 2 weeks or so, would go with the signs of major accumulations going on and the wordens report. I think the last few weeks a lot of extra shorting have been going on when ever the price has jumped. Now I know why it looked strage when the stock went from 9 to 12 the other day, I didnt see much shorting at all, I thought the MM's got caught with their pants down cause of the way the trades were taking place. Any good news and I would expect this one to take out 15 very easily. Guess all that churning with 17 mil shares the other week was not a joke. I cant wait to see the current short intrest, I would think its at 15 to 18M+ now from the 10M of last month, thats 5M in the 12 to 13 area and prob another 2-3 mil in the 9 to 12 area. I woudnt expect a squeeze without any news though.. But the next month or two should be real intresting and very rewarding for those who are patient, unless Leland is another CC and makes lousy heads. Although I can dream of ENMD :) I dont think that will happen. So is a gamble for the SEP 15's worth it? Might be one of them 5 baggers..

Watch List for May 8, 1998 (window closed while I was working) It was a rough day even the good uptrending stocks like ERTS, EXPD began losing steam. JBL, AOL,WAXS,SEBL, were winners. VSH from my watch list on the 4th reported good earnings and was up. I will be looking at SKS, WCOM, which I have brought over from other watch lists I posted in the beginning of this week. Criteria Criteria Values __________________________________________________ REL PERFORMANC 1-DY display only 1/30-DY VOL RATIO display only MOVING AVG 10-DY display only **************************** Watch List for May 8 05/08/98 **************************** 1> SYY - SYSCO CORP COM .FDS 1-Dy = 99.7 ( 49) VL/30= 61.3 ( 71) 10MA = 101.6 ( 84) I had this one before. I still like it a lot. 2> VSH - VISHAY INTERTECH INC COM .ECC 1-Dy = 96.8 ( 6) VL/30= 135.7 ( 89) 10MA = 98.5 ( 17) Ran away today on good earnings report. 3> LUV - SOUTHWEST AIRLINES CO COM .ATR 1-Dy = 97.6 ( 9) VL/30= 120.2 ( 87) 10MA = 95.6 ( 6) 4> NBTY - N B T Y INC COM .DRU 1-Dy = 98.2 ( 13) VL/30= 85.0 ( 80) 10MA = 91.7 ( 2) This one reporting soon. looks good. 5> WAXS - WORLD ACCESS INC COM .TES 1-Dy = 101.7 ( 92) VL/30= 67.6 ( 74) 10MA = 99.9 ( 38) 6> MSX - MASCOTECH INC COM .APT 1-Dy = 104.2 ( 96) VL/30= 305.0 ( 97) 10MA = 108.6 ( 97) 7> MAT - MATTEL INC COM .LTG 1-Dy = 100.9 ( 88) VL/30= 127.7 ( 88) 10MA = 102.2 ( 88) Toys did well today. MAT should represent the sector well. Look at HAS and TOY as well. 8> IMIC - INDUSTRI MATEMATIK INTL COM .DSO 1-Dy = 100.8 ( 88) VL/30= 292.3 ( 96) 10MA = 70.7 ( 0) 9> MLG - MUSICLAND STORES CORP COM .RSP 1-Dy = 99.0 ( 25) VL/30= 126.5 ( 88) 10MA = 102.1 ( 87) One of my favorites. I've played this every earnings season in the past year. Showed up nice again today. A real "MarketGem". 10> COL - COLUMBIA HCA HLTHCRE CORP COM .HEA 1-Dy = 100.3 ( 84) VL/30= 75.0 ( 76) 10MA = 99.9 ( 38) healtcare stocks were good last few days.

If the trend continues up I will enter it.

Besides VVUS! If there is ever such a thing.. New internet IPO. Just to give a quick briefing to those who don't know much about this, basically there are two major cable modem service providers: Cox@Home (owned by Comcast), and RoadRunner (owned by Time Warner). As you know Bill Gates invested a billion dollars into the cable modem industry via Comcast. It was known as his "billion dollar bet". Check out this url: idg.net These two providers only market large residential and business areas with over 500,000 people in metropolitan areas. There is another company that markets the smaller areas such as Humboldt county, California called Internet Ventures. Check out: perki.net This company is finishing a Direct Public Offering and will IPO in July. The symbol will be IVI and it will be traded on the Nasdaq exchange. Their share price is $11 a piece.(matched shares offer is over) They have no debt, they are highly interested in expansion, and they are very aggressive in marketing their stock and their company! A few days ago at the cable convention at Atlanta, an agreement was achieved in which Internet Ventures would be used to market all smaller markets across the U.S. for the Comcast corporation. Internet Ventures now has two securities firms following the company. They have been mentioned in The Investor's Buisness Daily, and if you contact them, they will send you a packet of some 100 other major forms of media that they have been displayed in. This agreement is not public news as of yet. You can buy Internet Ventures shares directly from the company. They will probably run out within the next few weeks I am told. You can also wait for the July IPO. If you have any more questions, please check out the Internet Ventures web site, e-mail info@perki.net, fill out their web from: perki.net or call them at: Tel: 800-701-7020
