"How can you identify a company as being overvalued, and thus a candidate for short-selling, when you don't even know what it's core business is, or the magnitude and finacial breadth of the Y2K opportunity." Here's how I start on that task. Hit the link at the bottom of your screen for the company profile. Here's what I get for TAVA. Quarter Ending 06/30/97 09/30/97 12/31/97 03/31/98 Revenue (millions) 9.5 11.3 10.5 11.7 Net Income (millions) -3.2 -0.6 -0.6 0.3 Net Profit Margin -33.7% -5.3% -5.7% 2.6% Shares Outstanding (millions) 11.7 16.6 17.7 23.3 "...you will see that not only is TAVA financially sound" not a particularly good picture from the above, IMO. "...has the potential" maybe for 1999, but how can Y2K earnings be sustained beyond that?
