Hey, are you shorting?

Yes - RHAT, YHOO and QCOM:

RHAT: I've been shorting RHAT off and on for the past 4 or 5 trading days - started at 290 (I've gotten about 65 of the points it's fallen since then).

YHOO: I shorted YHOO last week - and covered after it rose 15 points - but then I shorted again yesterday at 350.

QCOM: Shorted this morning at 424, and then watched in anguish as it quickly rose to 435 - not that I wish financial harm on anyone who is long the stock, but I was glad to see the quick drop from 437 to 421 near the close.

I decided to hold all my short positions because I think all three of these stocks will go lower (I realize QCOM and YHOO are both very risky - but at least I have a buffer established on YHOO). Note that I have several long positions as well: GE, DIS, MSFT, WMT, XOM, IT, PG.
