Many of us are taking that course of action, we strongly feel that it is the "righteous" one. I have been posting on several boards for several days that we should all do this, and I am not alone. The word has spread, and it's being spread by many different people.

There's a time and place for everything, and we think that the time for shorting is not now. It's important that we all do whatever we can to not exacerbate a bad situation.

It has been shown that the data strongly suggests that any drop in the markets is only brief from any tragedy, and almost certainly they will recover from any drop this tragedy brings. That is not the point.

This is about something far more important, and I will not do anything to contribute to what has happened, on the negative side. No one will ever say that I was a force for the negative.

This may sound arrogant, (right word?) but I believe that at least in this one small? instance the "message board people" started this "movement", the media has picked it up, and it has snowballed from a small idea into a big one. (the sec even seems to be encouraging the "go long" idea)

Tomorrow isn't that far off, and I sincerely hope that we are all successful in what we are trying to do.
