what to do? market_timer Apr 24 1998 1:38AM EDT

After riding VVUS down from 39 to 11 1/8, I sold short 10,000 at 7 11/16 last Friday and now I've lost 50% thanks to the conspiracy of all the longs and market makers to artificially boost the price. I'm glad it's only a paper loss. It's amazing what some people will do just to satisfy their greed.

I'm not quite sure what to do now. Should I average up, especially if there is a strong open on Friday?
I'm now low on cash and margin, so would writing naked
calls be a good way to get my money back?

I read on SI that VVUS will go to 5. I guess I just have to
be patient and take a long-term outlook.
