i was just getting ready to reply to your previous post :-) well, you missed it (luckily :-) today because DELL peeked it's head just above 39 (high 39.25). i agree w/ what you said... what's cheap to one can still be too expensive to others. your hedge is good to have. >>>remove the hedge when the stock climbs to within 1 SD of the 50 day MA i like the basic idea behind this, and w/ your other comments following it, I think you are right that you'd have to cover if it started to go above your short price, yet was below your 1SD/50 price. you want to play the technicals, but your entry point matters as far as money management goes. >>>paper trades sure seems easier than real life absolutely! lots of things can go wrong w/ real trades, not the least of which, for a short, is being able to find shares to short :-)
