Exactly. Holding a short overnight with these stocks in this market is playing with fire. Holding a long such as Cmrc over-night is equally painful. Down $80 yesterday, and down $33 so far this morning.

Exactly. Holding a short overnight with these stocks in this market is playing with fire. Robert, I don't know what's gotten into me lately - I find myself wanting to short certain stocks because I feel they are "over-valued" (forgive me for using the term). It definitely must be short-sightedness on my part. I'm confident that there's never a need for any of us individual investors to question an analyst upgrade - if the price target is higher, well it must be based on sound fundamental analysis and solid judgement - and I'm glad that none of us does ever question an upgrade - why it is obviously not within our realm of thinking to determine a "fair" price for a stock. After all, these analysts are smart, honest people - and it is amazing how often they are right - we'll all do well to follow them, forever, wherever they may lead us. Thanks, -Eric
