<<<<<,well..get ready for court because I plan on suing you...Paid4 it,,,my online Attorney..is hereby directed to print out everysingl;e thing Ztec has said publicly...and then you are to subpoena all of his trading records and all of his PM's ok Matt?...Please respond publicly so everyone know I am dead serious>>>> people don't quite get it yet that they can't say whatever they want on the net...either privately or publicly.....and even after they are told they are being sued they take it as a joke and continue on with their escapades... One of these days they will learn... but by the time they do it will probably be when they end up in court

Tony...gonna spend all your profits on attorney fees? We have a long record of what is fact and what is fiction on both our sides.... The SEC would be very interested in your case as well, seeing that you've blatantly made attempts at manipulation by your screaming proclamations... Does your lawyer Matt really want to take case he can't win? And do you really want to go to court with such a flimsy case that subjects you to incrimination? Actually don't think it would make it to trial, and what would you win? If you could win on liability? (Which you couldn't) How are you going to prove damages...that is unless you're giving legitimacy to what I've been saying. Geeze little tony, I have as much chance as going into court with a suit against you, saying that any losses I incurred due to DBCC's share price were your fault which would be nearly impossible to do unless DBCC chose to pursue you for libel (which they could) when you said they were a "scam" and not simply in your opinion overvalued. But why would they do that, and I haven't incurred any losses... Shucks there goes my countersuit.... ztect

Anthony, a few newbie "shorting" questions if I may (I do a LOT of trading, but have only tried to short once, don't feel I understand it well enough). Question is, it seems when you short a stock you have to worry about a lot more than going long, like for example if there are any shares available. How can one short stocks in a fast moving market, when you don't really know if you are going to get shares or not? I tried it once just for the heck of it (100 shares of a cheap stock to keep the risk low) and I placed the order (Schwab web) and about 10-12 minutes later I get a call that no shares are available. I'm used to buying a stock and flipping it sometimes in minutes, how can you function never knowing what is/isn't available in advance, on a fast moving stock, 10-15 minutes is a LONG time. Another question, once I almost sold 2000 shares of a stock that I had only 1000 shares of, the web page told me that since I had only 1000 shares of the stock, I had to make sure I delivered the other 1000 shares w/in three days. If I didn't actually own these other 1000 shares than I would in effect be shorting the stock....made me think that I could always just sell stocks that I didn't own, as long as I bought them back w/in three days (in the same account). Is this legitamite? legal? Is there a downside to this? Thanks, made a ton of money riding this market up, and thinking that I may need to start shorting my way down for a while as the market gets so expensive. Thanks
