Dear Involved!!! Its good to see you actually do some work. gg It's intense, but that's what trading is all about. TB and I got a dose of it this afternoon. I decided to short CSC because up here in the top of it's trading range I like to go short rather than be in long position and see it drop on me. ha! Well in my infinite wisdom, I decided at about 10 minutes to four that 68 1/4 was about all the steam it had and with TB watching over my shoulder I put in a short sell to Datek and got it confirmed. To my chagrin they actually had 2100 shares in stock on the shelf! So we laughed when they confirmed the order. gg Well about 10 seconds later I was sold! This is funny because it has been our experience (Mine and TBs) that when a short sells right away, your'e in trouble. Well this time was no exception, that puppy sold and ran right up the flag pole and closed at 69 3/16 - and the only reason it stopped there was that the market closed!!! Berney said that they might be doing some after market trading on another exchange but it calmed down at about 4:05, Whew! Boy was I glad the market closed, now if it would just not open tomorrow I would be in good shape!!!gg Yep, its intense!!gg CU PK aka Tidy Bowl Paul(this is where the Sh-t hits my fan)
