If both sides maintain their discipline, by definition, they both can't profit. I hate shorts. They're the guys who always had an excuse not to take gym in high school. End of story.

That's funny, the only people I have seen who were stupid and childish enough to try and pick real fights in a virtual forum were some rabid shorts. Many are pretty aggressive, even when it is totally pointless except for puffing up their own fragile egos.

I go long and short myself. Trying to throw blanket labels on either group is a waste of time. The smart ones on both sides make money.

For Bobby: you left out the benefits of being ahead of the curve as the bubble expanded. A lot of "stupid" people did very well; the smart ones cashed out part of their winnings to enjoy in real cash. One flat summer isn't likely to end that trend. Maybe when the Internet index falls behind the S&P year to date. Only about 35 points to go there.

Internet use is projected to grow another 500% in the next few years. Consider the ramifications.
