Given that India is currently stronger than Pakistan and that Pakistan will not have a credible nuclear attack threat for at least several more months, does anyone think India may be tempted to a pre-emptive strike? And what would that do to global markets?

But Zitel isn't poised for takeoff yet. It still needs to raise more cash in some sort of stock or debt offering -- even long-position investors acknowledge that. "Takeoff yet"? So they are predicting a take-off one day for ZITL? How??? If a Y2K company (or ZITL's partial interest in one) has yet to make a profit half-way through 1998, how much potential is there? Let's say ZITL miraculously earns $30 million in the next two years (yeah, right). Their stock price doesn't move and they don't issue any more shares. How are they going to justify the other $100 million in their market cap? Y2K will be over or slowing down in a couple of years. Then what for ZITL? What a joke ZITL is...(my largest short position). Too bad there is so much short-interest, otherwise it would be my only position!
