Roger, Thanks for giving me a list of crappy issues. I will probably short some later this year to hedge against my long positions. However, even if I go short, I won't pour more than 10% of my $ in that game. I still feel that this is a good bull market. And to play short usually does not give you as much gains as to go long in this environment. thanks, larry!

Roger and all: I want to open another brokerage account. Datek seems to have the most access to shortable shares, so I think I will go there. Anyone else have other recommendations? thanks in advance. Peter

Roger, I thought you were going to cover CCSI at 4 or so. I did not want to take a chance of losing my short position, so I boxed it at 4 3/16 (the latest). I actually picked up almost 2 points from boxing it near 4, and selling the long side higher. I'm going away this weekend and part of next week, and will probably just leave it in place so I won't have to think about it. I think there may be some upside left in the beast. What a surprise that Janssen-Myers issued a buy rating, it seems they own half a million shares. At least they did in March: biz.yahoo.com Barb
