I was on another thread looking back at history and check this out. All I have to say is.. Yikes!! I don't know if hedging against a larger long position helped.. eek!! The internet "FAD" can be pretty brutal ! Pirate Started By: Roger A. Babb Date: Jan 1 1998 2:54AM ET The following are my short picks for 1998. I shorted each of these stocks on December 31, 1997 at very near the listed price and will hold each position until it reaches my target or fundamentals cause me to re-evaluate the position. AMZN 60 target 30 ATHM 26 target 15 CTXS 76 target 30 ETEC 46 target 30 VIAS 42 target 20 YHOO 70 target 35 Note that these shorts are hedged by a larger long portfolio of quality long term positions which helps neutralize big market moves in either direction. My "special situation" long pick for 1998 is: BROC 3 1/2 target 10 or better My initial market prediction for 1998 is bearish. I will be posting updates on my predictions to babb.com Happy New Year Roger

Ok Anthony, now you REALLY done did it - on the USAT call... Asked 'em if they were involved in organized crime... Next thing ya know they won't take any more caller questions? BAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! Too funny. Nice job - you gave 'em a large injection of reality. I think they're gonna learn fast the internet works as well to promote scams as it does to turn over the rock that uncovers 'em ...
