Re: avoiding buyouts one thing i've noticed about some of the really beaten down co's that we love to short is that some are good buyout candidates. How can we avoid these and getting really burned badly? i'm looking at limiting these shorts to co's that have neg EPS and carry a load of debt. I mean, relly, who in their right mind would want to buy one of these pieces of crap? anybody else have strategies for avoiding buyouts? vol

I know SNRS is it the same company done by Thomas james and was located in Sunnyvale, Ca and used to have the dental; laser.. i was involved in the IPO in 1989 or 1990. i had oodles of that stock and it was great till they stared lying about the n8umbers ...I guess its worth looking at again... I would never call a stock my retirement stock...Even Bill gates would get a slap on the hand If I heard him say that.....Because, if its only one thing that i know.....ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.... and I have learned that once you hit the ripe old age of 15 or 16 there is no such thing as a " Good Surprise " Best2all
