<<Jim, there were shorts who made good money in KTEL Thursday and Friday. The super run-up was a "long trap". MARG, CYSP, HCOM, ALMI, and others went through the same gyration. Last week was one of my most profitable weeks, but I covered the positions at end of day, start over again Monday.>> ----------------------------------------------------------------- Roger, I think only professionals and/or people like you who can watch every minute should try this "short" thing. Roger, sometimes you give the impression that shorting is a very easy game when you say you short ORG and make 20% in one day, some novice who is reading this thread would think that they can do like you do, but you need to let them know it is not as easy as it looks (especially in this booming market). Personally, if you have to play from the short side, then take $1,000 and put it in 4 or 5 positions and try it out. It is safer (in the sense that you will not get squeeze) to play from the long side and if you are wrong, you can always turn from a trader to an investor ...
