scope, glad I could be of help. I'd suggest going long ENML, CFON, ZITL, ZONA, and OCOM since I have short positions in all. Also, you should go long FIBRD since the only reason I didn't initiate a short position Friday is because Datek and Waterhouse wouldn't lend me the shares. BTW, I sold FIBR at a split adjusted 16 7/8, sold it short at a split adjusted 16 11/16, and covered at 12. I posted them all on the FIBR board in real time. I covered IVIP (now ONHN) at 7 a long time ago, posted that here as well, but am thinking about reitiating a short position. Barb

Oh scope, I went and dug up a couple of old posts from the FIBRD thread. Here's one of your's from 12/16/97: "You must be all abscessed with this stock. You want to hear nothing negative about it. Well, I'sorry. Before year end this is going to be in the ones. Good Luck. I'm the hell out of this thread." Message 2985082 As I recall, the stock went from 2 to 6 1/4 in the next month. Here's mine, from 3/6/98: "As I said, it was a really close decision, and until I pushed the sell button at 5 5/8 I wasn't really sure I was selling. But sell I did, because I feel the risk/reward ratio has been skewed out of my favor." Message 3621887 And from this thread on 6/18/98: "I actually got chased out of ONHN (IVIP) at 7 for a loss of 3/8." techstocks.com Are you still sore over predicting FIBR would go into the ones and being wrong? I think you'll be right soon enough. Barb
