OT: on games the shorts play, my friend who is a shrink
claims that maintaining a short position is
psychologically much harder than being long. i.e. it's
unnatural to hold onto something based on pessimism.

It makes sense to me that shorts have a need to "psych"
themselves about their short position and that is the
main reason they tend to be rabid posters who love to
insult the longs - they need the stimulus provided by
antagonism to sustain their enthusiasm about being short
and their negative pessimistic attitudes.

From the looks of it, Mr. A.G. is going to be needed that
stimulation more than ever, especially thru the next 7
days!
