lee: Sorry it has taken so long for me to answer. It's not often I find the free time to peruse this thread. While the posts are brilliantly constructed in and of themselves, I find that reading them fills me with a profound sense of lack of knowledge. To rid myself of such a distasteful situation, I go research the other threads that have been mentioned just to see what provoked the particular flame, derogatory comment, or hilarious jab. Which, of course, takes up even MORE free time.
Thus, my normal tactic for this thread is one that has been given the ominous sounding technical name of "thread-us ignore-itis".
However, a chance visit to this thread while following the trail of a poster affectionately known to all (well, maybe not affectionately) caused me to stumble upon your request to reinstate the "Shortaholics Anonymous" club.
I finally gave up on that effort several months ago after weeks of therapy. Not me, of course. I don't do shorts. It was the members of the group who broke off the group therapy sessions. Just when I thought it was safe for them to go back in the market and buy several stocks for the long term, several short candidates made themselves very well known. The entire membership jumped ship and shorted again. It broke my heart. We were sooooo close to success.
It's true you know ... shortaholism is a disease. Incurable.
If you think that a refresher course would do you some good, let me know, and I'll send over the swat team to rap your knuckles every time you get ready to hit that "sell short" button. Meanwhile, think pure thoughts.
Best of luck,
