Platter, are you short this stock? You have dodged my question three times since last night. please answer(truthfully if you can). I have been nothing but honest with you and this thread, and I'm still here, been for a while. AND, I'm not going around posting on other boards, and I don't tell anyone to hold these stocks long term. You keep spewing this PUMP AND PUMP gloom around, and fact is, the stock closed up today. And even for those of us who did take some profits, SO WHAT. if you were long since under four, you'd be foolish not to do the same. Like shorting it at 10, and covering it at 5-6. Or it it your intention to try to ride it back to 3? And what changes your opinion so much with the Internet stocks so fast? I refer to #reply-5625413 (sure cysp ain't a big name yet, but the key word it "yet". How long AOL, AMZN, YHOO been around? And what happened to them, especially AOL in some of those earlier times?). Wouldn't this include CYSP? And isn't there any time allocated for a start up company? I remind you how young the whole e-commerce concept really is in regards to hitting the masses. I agree, CYSP is likely to drift lower in the coming weeks, but if your short, out with it boy, don't hide behind a mask of "Joan of Arc" and to the thread, if anyone is interested, a quick look at your profile sure makes you look like a masked shorter. So what say you?

>>As time go by investors will become more aware of those who are hyping these MONEY losing small cap Internet stocks...then dumping their positions... Yes, by all means, everyone take a good look at at the profiles of a poster before you assume anything. and then, still take everything with a grain of salt. We all know the story of Little Red Riding Hood, and a brief peek into a profile can say more that the post itself.

look, you got a "the sky is falling" article. BTW, how is your short position here that you started at what 8 somethin'? dailynews.yahoo.com What triggered the rout? One obvious possibility involved reports, which began circulating on the Internet last week, that the U.S. Federal Reserve was considering selectively raising margin rates on Internet stocks to cool off speculation in the sector. Such a selective targeting of stocks by the Fed would seem to have no precedent, but simply permitting such rumors to circulate may have been enough to bring about the desired effect. Keep shorting, and I'll keep riding the waves. One of us will still be smiling come retirement time. p.s. I'm getting ready to jump into the search engines again. I'll look you up when I'm ready. good luck and trade wisely.
