"PLEASE be very very careful shorting the internets now and more than likely always! Sure someday shorts will make money" Some folks like to compare the 'nets to the Y2k frenzy at the end of '96. Just a reminder that anyone who shorted ZITL at 20 on the way down made as much money as someone who shorted at 20 on the way up, but slept much better, had no margin calls, and spent less on antacid. <g> With shorting, it doesn't pay to get there too soon. In the meantime, I don't see anything wrong with being long as long as you use good money management. Barb
