Have not purchased short yet and may not at this leg in market. You may be tons wiser than you let on... Trains coming down the tracks can flatten you. I have some friends that thought they were so smart shorting over valued internet stocks...and they lost their shorts along with their shoes, socks, pants..... Me, just took some profits in HWP. Need to find more profits to take to get back to 80:20 since 1/7/00. Nice problem to have, being up 5% or so YTD. I still think you take profits ASAP to keep allocation and then you have powder if there is a correction. Maybe I am a giddy bull with my "pedal to the metal" but I drive a 'vette so I guess I like it that way? <VBG> BTW, good, balanced discussion here. I am enjoying the polite posts from the dissenters of past days (Dipy and Rillinois) and the thoughtful replies. regards Kirk out
