GERN <I didn't check to see if there were any shares to short once it curled over after hitting the 23 mid-morning ceiling> I know that on Friday you could not short with MBTrading, however, Schwab did have available for shorting.

LastShadow--I got the word on SI from TMex(sometimes it pays to bookmark him)right before the close and struggled whether to buy or not right at the close and got in at 9 15/16. I sorry I did not have time to alert this excellent thread. I knew the gap would be big at the opening so I used strategy that I have learned from you and others to take profits while they last. Sold half at the opening and another half after the rise back up from 17 1/4 when it began to drop again from 24 1/2. My best trade in a long time. I am usually not around during the day to catch these wild ones. Myron

I would like to ask if anyone finds a stock that is under substantial buying pressure, that is one that is on a steady price uptrend and accumulation, we would all really appreciate it if you post it. NEWZ This is topic #1 on Tim's thread. Up strong today on triple yesterday's volume. Want to see a gap? Check out NEWZ on 3/10/98. It did fall off some pretty tall poles in July and August though. Be aware of the dates on the following Briefing search...a lot of it not current. I don't have a posistion in this stock. Jay 10-Mar-98 13:00 -- 14:00 ET NEWSEDGE CORP (NEWZ) 12 15/16 +2 7/32.Shares of this recently-formed personalized news delivery company were started with a "buy" rating at BA Robertson Stephens. Also catching the eye of investors was the firm's extremely enticing 12-month price target of $20, which is 54% above the stock's current price. The news of the rating sent NEWZ shares roaring more than 3 points higher at the open, to an intraday high of $13.75. This company was formed in February through the merger of Desktop Data (a provider of real-time news) and Individual (a provider of personalized news). With the merger, NEWZ currently has approximately 950,000 business and individual users. "We believe the combined company has the critical mass to provide a competitive edge and build a profitable business based on a high level of recurring subscription revenues. Desktop Data has been consistently profitable," commented Roby Stephens analyst Keith Benjamin. Short Stories 21-Oct-98 AFTER THE CLOSE NewsEdge Corp.
