i was a little leery of shorting after my experience with the amzn beast in '98. i'm afraid i just didn't have the nerve to short a full blown mania in march 2000.

Craig,

My thinking was the same as yours. It is possible (likely in my opinion) James has far greater assets than we. So even if he took the same hit as a percentage of net worth shorting too early in the mania, he could afford to take risk again and he did have balls to do so. That does not make him a better market player as it makes him a stronger player.
