>>>i agree, shorting is a loser's game<<<

I don't. In the financial markets, every man chooses his weapon and digs his foxhole. If his strategy makes $, so be it. I've never shorted a stock simply because it's annoying for me to look at a stock through the opposite end of the scope...everything is reverse. But, considering that for EVERY winner who loses a dollar, there is a loser who lost a dollar, there is no "loser's game" in investing/trading. In fact, I love it when I know I tore a handful of cash from the bloodied fingers of some less skillful trader -- ahhh, such a satisfying feeling!

Style Pts.
