Eric <<<<<< Pete: By selling short a similar amount of "vested" stock will also limit any upside too. My approach would be to establish your hedged short position in three positions. When Brinker gives the BEAR signal, establish a 1/3 short position. Wait three months to see that the indicators continue on trend and then establish another 1/3 short position. Finally, if the BEAR gets ugly and it is one of those long term secular trends, then put the final 1/3 short in place.>>>> If someone follows Bob and believes a sell signal should be taken seriously why would the person want to essentially dollar cost average in a hedge position. The whole point of putting a hedge on is to take away the risk of losing, not to worry about upside that may be lost which in a properly done hedge would be total. Obviously if one is not confident of the correctness of a sell signal they can do all sorts of half-assed things. Marc
