I take my chances and make the best out of my losses. Shorted 200 MSFT this morning in Germany and expect to cover today in the U.S.A. A bet with little risk, I say. Au weh. The price of 77.20 Euros, shortly after the opening (in Berlin, I think) was the lowest I have seen today in MSFT. As it started to trade up, and hit 80.80, before the nasdaq opened, MSFT didn't lose more ground compared to friday's AM closing where I bought my pieces @87, so I felt way better and not in shorting mood. Looks like Wexler is right again. (actually I sold them in the premarket and bought new ones after the open).

<<But if you like this sorry affair terminated I suggest that you redeem my marker and send me $16.500 dollars and I send you 1000 shares of CCSI in return>> I have a better idea. How about if I send you a buck for those 1000 shares, which is a lot more than the zero they'll eventually be trading at? (And I mean $1.00 for the whole lot of 1000, NOT $1.00 per share!) Besides, why are you getting mad? You're going to get rich rich RICH by shorting MSFT and buying GUMM!
