Any thoughts on the best tech shorts here? Getting close to pulling the trigger, but waiting for a day where we rally and close near the lows. I want to be hedged in case a tech pullback sends oils lower too. I still think these most recent gains are somewhat option related and short covering. Next week is typically light volume, but it'll be interesting to see who boxes their positions before the inevitable profit taking in techs come y2k.
