mary, although i'm net long - by a lot - most people think i'm bearish b/c i am on many of the popular stocks. i get no joy from a company's stock price going down. i also get no joy watching all the longs contribute to an unsustainable bubble that will more than likely push this country into a deep recession when it pops.

who created the bubble - the shorts? NOT! nobody is righteous here. we are all just evaluating different alternatives to make money and making our best plays.

we have fun, too. we don't like layoffs and wish people well. we don't like recessions caused by bubble "mentality" but we wish everyone well when it hits.

the goal is to make money and that, in and of itself is not a bad thing. many shorters are generous folks and help out those less fortunate. how you spend the money is much more important, imho...
