UF, I have no position in Q. Short or long.

Call me irrational but I do not adopt short positions as a matter of principle. This whole bubble collapse has taught me that maybe I could be more wealthy if I took short positions.

But irrationally I just don't like the concept of betting against a company. I would rather bet for someone I think is a winner than bet against someone I think is a loser.

So, that limits the universe of stocks in my portfolio selections to those which I think have upside or income potential with capital preservation. Q isn't one of them.

I hope my lack of position doesn't disqualify me from having and articulating an opinion. Indeed, mine is almost exactly the opposite of the "It's a great buy and I have some".

John.
