Hi Pc: Actually, it's been a rather nifty year for certain of us bears. Two weeks ago, I "pounded the table" with my institutional friends with respect to dumping IBM (whose accounting we wrote disparagingly about many weeks ago). Those that took our advice and both dumped and went short are grinning today, while the others are counting the scars. Iridium too, provided a rather handsome set of pay days for those who did their homework or paid attention to our comments. Then too, the MU slide from $80 in the Spring was not too shabby (and bless their pointed heads, we will get yet another opportunity,....as Fred says, "the gift that keeps on giving"), nor was the recent pounding of HWP. No complaints at this end as the current "stealth bear" does its normal thing, which is to take them out one at a time, rather than create a mass grave. "Distribution" works much better in this scenario. (g) Best, Earlie
