Ztect, got a question for you.... I shorted DBCC because of MKTW. And here's what I posted on the MKTW board. I'm asking you this because I think DBCC will move down with MKTW if it does. Love to hear a answer, backed up with some concrete ideas of course. "I'd love to short MKTW now.... Anyone know when MKTW will be shortable (is that a word? :-)) I can not possibly imagine why a company that provides service people can get FREE from a MILLION OTHER PLACES. Talk is cheap, and that is going to be the same with Marketwatch. And don't anybody compare MKTW with companies like AMZN and EBAY, AMZN and EBAY have potentially huge revenue stream. If one person can tell me how MKTW can generate enough revenue stream on its business model (mainly advertising dollars) to support its ONE BILLION CAP. I'll mail $10 dollar to him/her providing the address." Thanks

Insiders have sold more than 2 million shares in the last 2 weeks. You do not consider 2+ million "massive" ? We are yet to know about additional insider sales. IMO, the final figure will be much higher. Regards. Rajiv

Hypothetical situation: * NEW FLASH * Y2K bug hits the brokerage houses, people long on DBCC are now short.. People short are now long on DBCC, major choas strikes the investment community... Commentary: Wow, what if ? First, the shorts here would have a "change-of-heart" on the stock within seconds of finding this out and visa versa.. Just goes to show you..... motive! hee hee Daily Stir Crazy Commentary: DBCC will soar, shorts be prepared for the classic dead cat bounce or in modern day terms, the Monica Lewinski "bounce-nose-off-belly-rebound-stroke"... Stay short or cover while the getting gets good ? ahh choices, the american way! From the creative tabloid mind of the "PIRATE"! Pirate
