Pete: By selling short a similar amount of "vested" stock will also limit any upside too. My approach would be to establish your hedged short position in three positions. When Brinker gives the BEAR signal, establish a 1/3 short position. Wait three months to see that the indicators continue on trend and then establish another 1/3 short position. Finally, if the BEAR gets ugly and it is one of those long term secular trends, then put the final 1/3 short in place.

When covering the short positions you can use the same approach by covering 1/3 of the short when Brinker's indicators show some sign of going positive. Continue to cover the shorts in 1/3 increments as the BEAR signals an "all clear".

This will allow you to establish a short on an "average cost basis" which will smooth the "trading" bumps over time.

Good Luck
