Lee--I remember KTEL too. It is rare to get such a quick, enthusiastic, and thorough reaming. Fortunately it is rare, my wallet looked like a lamb chop drug through a wolf pack when I was done. But it does look kind of shaky now doesn't it? I suffer still on the GERN short. Down again, my admittedly considerable fiscal gains are more than off set by the damage to my psyche. Druss

New Internet IPO Announced--DIPL CEO Druss today announced that shares of Druss's Internet Pot Bellied Pig and Llama Corporation will be publicly traded November 13, 1998. We are really excited about this new company Druss indicated. No other online company specializes in pot bellied pigs and llamas. By moving aggressively into this market we have positioned ourselves to get a significant jump on our competition. Selling the animals online allows us to have a great deal of flexibility, no inventory, and give the customer a personal touch besides. We have taken pictures of all of the pot bellied pigs and llamas our suppliers have. So a customer can browse our website, pick out the pig or llama they like the best and then order it, paying by credit card. We then contact our supplier and get the animal shipped to our customer. We will have our website up just one month after the IPO begins selling. So we can be generating revenue only one month after going public. This means we will be beating most of the internet companies currently out there by a large margin. The potential for sales of pot bellied pigs and llama online is really incredible. We had market research done independently by Druss Market Research Corp. and they found a potential billion dollar market in the pot bellied pigs and llamas alone. We also expect tremendous growth potential as we expand into the largely untapped warthog, and emu online markets. The warthogs are really exciting as if anything they are even uglier than pot bellied pigs.

lee: Sorry it has taken so long for me to answer. It's not often I find the free time to peruse this thread. While the posts are brilliantly constructed in and of themselves, I find that reading them fills me with a profound sense of lack of knowledge. To rid myself of such a distasteful situation, I go research the other threads that have been mentioned just to see what provoked the particular flame, derogatory comment, or hilarious jab. Which, of course, takes up even MORE free time. Thus, my normal tactic for this thread is one that has been given the ominous sounding technical name of "thread-us ignore-itis". However, a chance visit to this thread while following the trail of a poster affectionately known to all (well, maybe not affectionately) caused me to stumble upon your request to reinstate the "Shortaholics Anonymous" club. I finally gave up on that effort several months ago after weeks of therapy. Not me, of course. I don't do shorts. It was the members of the group who broke off the group therapy sessions. Just when I thought it was safe for them to go back in the market and buy several stocks for the long term, several short candidates made themselves very well known. The entire membership jumped ship and shorted again. It broke my heart. We were sooooo close to success. It's true you know ... shortaholism is a disease. Incurable. If you think that a refresher course would do you some good, let me know, and I'll send over the swat team to rap your knuckles every time you get ready to hit that "sell short" button. Meanwhile, think pure thoughts. Best of luck, TED
