lee, I tried my first short today.
The market looked like it was turning down (I watch the futures closely). Well it turned right back up, the short turned around and bit me and off I went running with my tail between my legs and a hundred dollar loss on 100 shares. (I wasn't willing to take any pain, enough recently!)

Good thing I fled, the stock then ran up 5 points in minutes and held it all day. So much for my first attempt, but now the fear of shorting has lessened. Thanks for the encouragement!
Susan
