Shorting Internet Security Stocks May 2007

How long has it been since we have received worldwide web reports of a massive web attack, or a DNS attack, or a major virus, or a Trojan Horse? It’s been some time, so there hasn’t really been any major hype to pump the names in online and internet security.  We are entering the summer hacking season as more teenage and college-age kids now have way too much free time on their hands.  There is no real pattern seen here, but this is the list:

Stock (Ticker)                            MAY     APRIL   Change
Symantec (SYMC)                  44.2M    42.2M     4.8%
Checkpoint (CHKP)               6.14M    6.26M     -1.9%
VeriSign (VRSN)                    11.1M    10.3M      7.4%
