RULE NO. 1 IN TRADING: DON'T FIGHT THE TAPE! Tom, I don't really care what you do with your money, but to short MALL right now would be extremely bold, the only way this stock will give back any of its value is, if the internets altogether retreat tomorrow! To compare MALL's situation to AVCO or KTEL is completely ignorant! But be my guest, Tom, short this stock tomorrow at the open! It is contrarians such as yourself who force this stock, as well as internet stocks in general, to EXPLODE! (see AMZN, EBAY, YHOO, INKT...) Good luck! Rico P.S. can you say "SQUEEZE"?

Tom, you're HELPING MALL go up by shorting it! You just don't understand do you Tom? I'm not a pump-n-dump poster and I have been following MALL since it was at $5. If you don't believe me, just read my past posts on MALL. (btw, I have a HUGE long position at $5) In any case, the reason that AMZN, EBAY, INKT and others have shot up so high recently is due to high number of shorts vs a small float. MALL currently has 4 million shares floating. After today's activity, the short position approaches the number of floating shares. When you short a stock, you must have enough equity in your account to cover your short position. If the MALL shoots up high enough, people will be forced to buy back their short positions. (Regular buying + short coverings = monsterous gains for MALL) If you think the MALL buying frenzy is over, you're badly mistaken. The big buyers have not gotten into MALL yet. Relatively few people know about the upcoming IPO. The actual date has not been announced. Once that news hits the wires, you'll see MALL skyrocket. Also, if you think Merrill Lynch (the underwriters) will let its money-making baby UBID open at anything less than $75 a share, you're crazy. Merrill are the biggest winners if UBID IPO is successful. And trust me, Merrill has quite a popular following and if it wants to hype up UBID, by golly, its follwers will BUY into it. Conclusion: Merrill Lynch are the BIGGEST WINNERS and the ones with MOST TO GAIN if IPO succeeds. UBID doesn't get a PENNY above the $13-$14 IPO pricing. The profits go to Merrill since it can exercise the over-allotment of UBID shares. IF MERRILL LYNCH SAYS BUY UBID, PEOPLE WILL BUY MALL TO GET UBID! -Ken

Please short more and more. The squeeze will be great. Meryll lynch will be on after the bell today and they are the underwriters for the IPO. You know we will get a nice plug from them tonight to cause another big surge tomorrow. This is Meryll's first internet IPO and they don't want it to fail. They hype will be enormous and the squeeze will be that much sweeter. This might be a good short in the 75 range after the IPO is out in 2 weeks. then once the hype dies it may fall a little. But at 30 with the Holiday season here, Meryll hyping it, the internets surging, the IPO coming in 2 weeks: You really have to have a death wish to short this now. But please go right ahead. I need the money
