Roger, do you still Yahoo ;-( ?? The smaller ones are a bit more reliable, in that when the story is over, it's really over and they fall like a stone instead like leaves... (as ever, I covered both info and gwrx way to early). But the opposite direction is not easy either. Yesterday I tried AVCO to fish at the bottom - no fills. The MMs knew... Today the TBR stub came out at 1/16 and went to 1,5 (which is Factor 24). I saw the 1/16, tried to get a block but- nope... Now I backed away from ENVY as there are the takeover rumors. My Internet short, ELNK is 4 in the reds again.. Internet stocks are really hard to short. Finally I took a heart and shorted KTEL. This "must" go to $1 The pinkish MALL (a bigger WCAP) rumbled today. THIS will be a decent short once uBid is out, running up and down. C.

Roger. Big part of the move are short coverings. If you look on the new IPO's (TGLO,EWBX), they both moved down w/o support of shorts. I'm considering going long when they become shortable <g>. Regards Amots
