sorry you took my note so personally. didn't mean to upset you. I guess i'd also be a little edgy myself hoping that i didn't get sold a bad deal by my broker. I've been long csco for several years and never have had the guts to short the stock. guess i've been lucky.

also, just curiousity sake, what is the point of shorting 10 shares? the most you can make, before commisions, is 500, assuming the co goes bankrupt. If done for fun i can understand. If trying to make a return, the reward doesn't seem to justify the risk. I'm not focusing on your decision to short cisco. this comment would apply to any transation this small. the only one that benefits is your broker.
