Anthony, How important do YOU consider level two to be for what you do? I was going to get it, but now may not if I'm not going to execute trades myself. As much as I can tell, it seem that you rely on a pro-trader to actually carry out your instructions to cover or sell...RATHER than messing with it yourself. They then get you the BEST fill possible--and you KNOW they will. Nice to find someone who is good at what they do to handle that while spending time making the decisions as to what to move on. Apparently that's the way you play it, and in the U.S.--correct me if I'm wrong--you probably would only depend on about 1 outfit. (not possible to PM you?) Thanks.

Tony, thanks for your generous offer. I didn't watch all of the Justice file tape. The begining part was same so I assumed it was same as 20/20 tape. I'll watch the whole tape. I've already made a few hundred bucks shorting OMGA so don't worry about the money. If I just follow your recommendation, I should be able to make at least 10 times the seminar fee by August <g>. Keep up the good work, jon

Anthony, I have been lurking for about a week now. Haven't traded yet but will be soon. I came across HMPS which seems overvalued to me. You and others may want to check it out to see if it is a good short. Keep up the great work. Dennis

By Herb Greenberg Senior Columnist 2/23/99 6:31 AM ET Terrible Tuesday: Un-Able to avoid controversy -- an update in the long-running Able saga: In chapter one of the Able Telecom (ABTEE:Nasdaq) saga, first reported here last July, this column mentioned (as it often does) that any time a company is routinely late with its SEC filings and has a revolving door of top execs and auditors -- no matter what the excuse -- it's time to worry. That pretty much described Able. Since then, Able's plot has become thicker than ever, with more exec turmoil and more delayed SEC filings -- the latest, its 10-K, was delayed as the company wrestled with its auditors. All this from a company that historically has been little more than a ditch digger for telecommunications companies. Then, last year, it bought a unit from MCI WorldCom (WCOM:Nasdaq) that builds telecommunications systems, overnight boosting its revs by more than 400%. After the purchase, the unit's top officers quit, and in recent months the unit has been at the center of a controversy regarding its ability to build a "fast pass" system for New Jersey's Garden State Parkway. As a result of the growth, Able's finances have been a mess. Defaults and other alleged issues have kept the company busy trying to raise cash. Manuel Asensio, a longtime Able foe who isn't shy about using the word "fraud," does just that in a Monday press release denouncing Able. In his release, Asensio charges that Able's press release regarding a proposed recapitalization "showed that Able's earlier disclosures concerning the alleged refinancing of its defaulted debts were false and fraudulent." Earlier disclosure? Don't ask. Too darn complicated. Bottom line, according to Asensio, is that if Able's latest plan doesn't work, the company may again be in default on its debt in 84 days. Able's stock, meanwhile, was wallowing as of yesterday's close at 8 13/16, a far cry from its 52-week high of around 21. Able's comment? A company spokesman didn't return my call.

ANTHONY -- what do you think about MNMD (minimed). It's got plenty of sizzle, being a maker of diabetes technology BUT WE HAVE A MAGIC DATE. FDA review is Friday Feb 26 on a glucose monitor -- it is NOT noninvasive but minimally invasive; device being tested requires interpretation by physician so patients won't be able to read their own glucose level; closed loop technology with implanted pump in tandem with glucose monitor is still at elast two years and likely longer away; competition to develop such monitors is strong; recent drop in stock price with rumors (yeah, i know) of accounting irregularities. But even without the accounting probs, PE is 93, which is probably not warranted even if FDA approves the device and commercial launch goes without a hitch.

Is it too late to short ABTEE around $6? A@P, are you planning to cover soon or it should go down to 0? L.
