Tony - Looks like Merlin made the news again: news.com ""New York, March 28 (Bloomberg) -- Stocks recommended in the first week of February by Trading-places.net owner Chris Rea, known as Merlin by fans of his Internet investing site, led to heavy buying by investors and selling by corporate insiders, the New York Times reported in its ''Market Watch'' column. Investors followed Rea's advice to buy and drove up the price in brokerage firm M.H. Meyerson & Co. and mutual fund company Bull & Bear Group Inc., while at the same time executives at those companies took advantage of that interest by selling shares. ''Investors who are rushing to buy have to worry about who's heading for the door,'' said First Call Corp.'s Bob Gabele, who tracks insider transactions, as quoted in the Times. Shares in Imaginon Inc., a software developer also recommended by Trading-places.net in the first week of February, closed at 4 7/8 Friday, dropping steadily since it traded at 11 11/16 on Jan. 26.

Anthony, since I currently have no position in CYOE, if you hadn't already called a short and if I or anyone on this thread were to initiate a short position tomorrow.... what do you think would be a wise percentage? Also, what issues are involved in a trading halt...ie. will short positions be tied up and for how long? What should thread members expect when shorting a co. in which the expectation is for trading to be halted and what actually would cause a halt? Hope you have time to give a brief answer. Great work Floydie! You can now write a novel. "Stock market mystery". It would be spooky if something more turned up! Something like the more traditional mysteries!
