Wexler, not only are you a loser, but you don't win any sympathy points because you're so childish--which is why few people like you (from what I've seen all around SI). How is @Home (ATHM) doing? Hahahaha!!!!! Short it, short more, and keep shorting more until it hurts, baby!

Seriously, a little decline in Yahoo over the last few days means little to me since I did not buy it for a short term trade. Regardless, I originally got into YHOO in the low 20s....isn't that where you started shorting it? And don't give us that BS about selling puts along the way. You only started with that line recently.

Oh, and don't blame it on bad luck. Bad luck would have been, for instance, if YHOO was bought-out at a huge premium right after you shorted it. You should blame your losses on being a stubborn, very stubborn, fool. It doesn't matter that you were wrong on Yahoo--everyone makes mistakes--but you stay wrong. You're just plain stupid to keep digging your heeling in further and adding to your short position as the stock goes higher and higher. If you wanted to keep your short position, fine, but continuously adding to it?!?!? Good grief.

You keep saying "eventually" it will go lower. Yeah, and "eventually," you will die, too. I think a full year of YHOO going up (and not just "up," but it was the best performing stock in the market last year) has been far longer than you could have imagined.

Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone.... Of all people, someone with your record shouldn't be talking.
