Tomasso, another way to get short the bloated pigs without the upside risk is to buy BEARX, the Prudent Bear fund. I'm not sure about YHOO, but DELL and AMZN are in their top 10 positions. The fund actually pays dividends as well, since they're big enough to get the short rebate. Barb

T, MSFT is the tough nut. It is way overvalued, but it is also a monopoly. They should get hurt in the downturn and I hope they do, but until somebody comes up with a better Java, they rule this little world. Of course, the same exact thing was said about IBM and mainframes and they died a couple of times. I have more faith in American technology than the bulls and I expect somebody to come up with something better than this Windows crapola. If may be on a different platform, but it will happen. MB
