>>I take it you have an offshore account?<< No, I don't need one. Why do I need an offshore account if I want to go short? You have heard of a short, yes? Besides, I think you missed the whole point of my entry. I am long on this stock, but hey, I'm not about to give up some profit along the way if there is one to be had. I've been a market maker, a proprietary trader, and a computer consultant. Listening to what other people has to say about a stock that you have in your portfolio doesn't hurt. If the general public is in agreement with your investment direction, then you know you are doing something right regardless if it's a long or a short. I'd rather hear all the opinions out there than just some of it. You would be stupid to ignore the other half of the argument. All your investment decisions would flawed to think one sided only. >>Letting the rest ride. Interesting concept, letting the sold shares "ride". Are you sure you know what you're saying?<< Where in my entry does it say I sold all my shares? I sold some at the close of yesterday @ $193.25. I'll always take some 40% profit whenever there is one, especially if that's in a week's time. If it goes any higher, I'll sell few more along the way. And if it does go down, I'll do just the same. Now, are YOU sure you know what you are asking?
