Hi Barry: well you got more guts than me, specially if you just flat out short..and no calls to cover with. I get antsy enogh just risking the put money.. I never short flat footed with out cover, "have you ever had your broker "BUY YOU IN"..I understand that can happen to..and that in the event of a big spike..a stop may not cross the board at the price you put it at..all that scares the crap outa me, were if you have calls they can't squezz you. I have read stories of how they watch the computers and "pick off the fish"..they call it speering fish in the barrel..be carful if your not covered. Jim
