PRGY

Covered flat.

Sue, the modified gap trigger is 44 1/4. This is from Briefing yesterday...

PRODIGY (PRGY) 46 +10 9/16:Recent IPO continues to climb amid very active trading... At today's intra-day peak of 50 5/8, stock up 238% from its offering price of $15... While stock could enjoy another day of gains, Briefing.com contends that most of the juice has been wrung out of this lemon... A quick look at trading pattern of other successful Internet IPOs [such as theglobe.com (TGLO), MarketWatch (MKTW) and EarthWeb (EWBX)] suggests that stocks have only a few days of gung-ho trading, followed by a sizable, more prolonged downturn... Consequently, look for the day traders to start bailing out of PRGY any time now... When they do, stock will take a beating... Briefing.com sees pullback to mid-20s... Fundamentally, wouldn't touch this stock as subscriber base is low and losses huge... To gain subscribers costs must rise... Basically, get while the getting is still good.

My only thought is I used to have Prodigy isp and it was lame. Depends on how serious the management is about attacking the market. Could be uphill battle against AOL.
