Dale; Well I was....scapling a little , until today caught me off guard . But it hasn't been much of a way to come out, as volatil as it's been it's not gone anywhere to speak of , and trading expenses while cheap are still adding up to more than I can clear. Some days you do OK , then get on the wrong side of a slide or spike and your back where you started. ------------------ I was short at the close yesterday, bought at the open this mourning when I saw the futures over the wall, I did manage to offset being on the wrong side of the gap up "some" but not all, and shorted again just before the close , now if we get a follow through tomorrow I'll be behind the eight ball. If we get any kind of a dip even midday I sould be able to unwind OK but all in all it's getting me nowhere so far. ------------------- I didn't trade it at first when I started the thread it was about mid April before I jumped in. I'm conviced there is not a lot of upside until after the summer is over , so I've played short more than long. Days like today can make me question my own sanity, had I had a computer problem I could have got hurt bad. :-( Jim
