As I am not even close to being an accomplishmed short seller,I take your caution seriously,but I must admit I have been tempted to make a small play on RBAK,that is just short in 100share increments to get a feel for the short play--I have been watching fellows working on RBAK,like they take a small short position at 120 and it then explodes to 170 and they just add a small amount more,just knowing that sometime in the next three months it will be touching 80 or less again---the important thing is just realize that bearmarket rallies have their last gasp and down they come quite fast. I guess I could go wimpy and do this as paper trade to see how I do. But I have to start learning the short side sooner or later.Good Luck,Max90
