I was amazed that EGGS made it this high in the first place with a float of 17 million and an unproven, hypercompetitive business. Not at all like the usual micro-float Internuts. Like TAVA, this one will be easy to short after New year's. Thanks for the reminder.

Ah, that rec brings back memories. It was either '91 or '92, and I vividly recall the little Egghead boutique I had been such a loyal customer of. Then once, there was a program I wanted to buy that I couldn't locate (little knowing that Egghead was actually in the process of phasing out Mac stuff), and I said to the salesperson trying vainly to help me that I'd go look for it at that huge CompUSA place that had recently opened literally just across the parking lot. I swear that salesperson freaked. Actually, looking back at the charts, it wasn't going long CPU that was such a great idea back then as was shorting EGGS. History repeating itself? Just might be.
