To All: The electric company shut off the power to my area to change a transformer shortly after I went short ORCL. My computers went down...poof! I called my broker and went flat on my daytrades and that included the ORCL short for a small loss. The power just came back on a few minutes ago and I am once again hooked up to the net and see I would have been stopped out anyway. You can't win them all. I also lost out on profits for couple of long positions that ran after I went flat as well. All and all today has not been such a good day...<ng> Not much money lost, but a lot left on the table! Playing catch up now... Regards, LG
