DF, Your acquaintance is a fool who did not do their homework and therefore got burned. Quite frankly, it makes me smile to see this happen. I suspect there have been many lessons learned this week. Holding further would be a very dangerous game. Cheers!!!

Boy i sure hope she covered cause you are going to see one vicious gap up monday.I hate to see small investors get burned that bad.I too have been stubborn in the past and have learned the hard way (trying to throw yourself in front of a runaway freight train and trying to stop it yourself is bad for your financial health)IMHO i think WIN is more like a combination of QCOM and CSCO (a bad combo to short)

If someone is shorting a stock, they should be doing their own DD and have a much better idea than most investors as to where their sell points are. The business models of RIM, BID and WIN are all quite different and frankly pointless to compare against. Stock valuations are reflective as Warren Buffett says a "voting machine". Stocks that move quickly generally offer great GROWTH potential that is not immediately realizable. RIM is a vertically integrated provider (hardware and up) that is also great at marketing. WIN is similar to RIM technically. Look at the roster of scholars in WIN that are leaders in their field (including Cell-Loc, check out Michel's resume at cell-loc.com. It is beyond the scope of this note to identify when to short WIN but there will be times to short and times to buy. Your lady friend should be telling YOU where the stock price will go if she really know what she's doing. The one line that does bother me is "she can't stand taking ANY losses". All traders lose and the good ones know when and where to take their loss. The goal is the smaller the loss, the better. Remember, ride "in the money" and jump when "out of the money" faster. There should be no ego when trading short term, especially trading short. Good Luck.
