FWIW: It was a little better than 1% Cary as I went short 1000 shares at 45.46 and got out at 44.91. I've made a lot of investment mistakes over the years so whether you measure a gain by dollars or percent makes very little difference to me as long as it is a gain. The losses hurt much more and are definitely much more memorable. Interestingly enough the amount I could borrow for margin when up $2000.00 after the trade. I'm sitting mostly in cash now. I think AMAT and the SOX are at risk of further profit taking but I also believe that we are on the verge of a recognizable economic recovery. By that I mean that while it may yet be months before economists agree with you that a new Bull Market began post 9/21 you are most likely right. RtS
