...have two basic choices: to sell short, which means borrowing shares from a broker and selling them in the hope that you can later buy them back lower and pocket the difference; or to buy "put" options giving you the right to sell stock at a preset price by a preset date. These are simple trades that any broker can handle. But each poses problems that are magnified with Net stocks...
...main risk in selling short is that your potential losses are unlimited. There is no telling how high a stock will go. If you had sold short 100 shares of eBay just a month ago, you would have a paper loss today of $12,000. Professionals have lost hundreds of millions betting against Net mania.

The ones you would want to short--those without earnings or a compelling business plan--are precisely the ones whose shares are hardest to borrow...

...threatening to expell some 400 workers who monitor the program, Iraq's trade minister called a press conference to say they could stay after all -- at least for now. Still, Mohammed Mehdi Saleh insisted once more that the two-year-old exception to sanctions that allows Iraq to sell a limited amount of oil and use the money to buy food for the Iraqi people must end. "Iraq will not live forever with the oil-for-food program," Saleh said, adding that his country demands that the sanctions be lifted...
