It is shown, for a bounded weighted bilateral shift T acting on
p(
), and for 1
p
2, that supercyclicity of T, weak supercyclicity of T, cyclicity of T
T and cyclicity of T2 are equivalent. A new sufficient condition for cyclicity of a weighted bilateral shift is proved, which implies, in particular, that any compact weighted bilateral shift is cyclic.
