Hey Howard, I remember Presstek well. I didn't short stocks back then. But after studying potential shorts for a few years, I started doing it myself on a limited basis. I have to agree with you. I haven't seen such a good short candidate since Presstek. Now we have E-Bay. It's not often that you see easy money like this.

Howard-EBAY reminds me of VVUS as well as PRST. VVUS was my most profitable short ever because of the sucker rallies and hype allowed me to keep playing it. I think the new variable here are the internet retail investors. Their impact is hard to gauge so I am playing all the internets cautiously.
