jeffrey, the missing factor in your analysis, IMO, is that short plays in this market are 50 times easier to find than longs.

Every day there's a new one up 200% for the day. They all go back down.

All definitive statements herein are hereby qualified per one of the following statements: "almost", "sort of" "well, most of them" "or so".

>>I do not now and NEVER HAVE invested in any stock where I did not think I could make at least 100%, over a couple of years. <<

I have never once stepped on the court believing that I could LOSE to John Mcenroe.

41.5% pre annum is ambitious considering the greatest investors of our time have achieved about half that over extended periods. Read the Buffet piece in Fortune. We should be looking for 10% to 15% returns,like he is.
