I never shorted the big-mo Internuts for more than a point or two. My mistake was not going long much. much earlier. I have been playing CMGI since early December - it's an absolute cash cow. Once I get better picking tops and bottoms, it should be even more rewarding. A word of advice on shorting you must know by now: when you are shorting a momentum stock, put in a tight stop and leave it there. You will be much happier at the end of the day. I am currently short PRBZ and behind a few points. I think it will tank later this year, if you're looking for an overvalued pig with less volatility. Good luck.
