>I myself have 2 seperate accounts. One which holds my investments (some for years) and one for TRADING, in which the value of my account may turn over 10 times in a day, on occasion. This is the account I often short stocks in.<

I'm curious, which account has the better return over the long term. (without discounting the trading account return by the time you spend trading it).

>for the short term corrections that inevitably come in every stock(no matter how good a company), simply because the market has extended to an extreme. IMHO, DELL offers such an opportunity, and doubly so because it is a momentum stock and a current market <

Dell has had short term corrections: there was one last week.

>It has been my experience that when these stocks reach extremes, they are severe, and when the momentum players leave, <

What have been similar past extreme corrections of overvaluations and what were the P/Es? I can think of Iomega and its P/E was around 90 at the time if I remember correctly. What's a stock similar to where Dell is now (a somewhat high P/E but with industry leading growth) that has corrected severely (beyond just following a bear market).
