performance during this correction my suspicion is that the only people who'd have done well, would be those who were good at shorting stocks during the correction. (I dont understand options, but maybe there is an equivalent there too). cheers, kumar

recan anyone who has done better tell us why? Well obviously from all my whining you know I've done worse but I can tell you two people who have done better, and why. Two of the people in my investment club (out of the 30!) who actually listened to the manager of the system and got out in March when warned (warned three times actually March 4th, 20th and 28th) and went short. They didn't short the big guys, just little rotten stocks that were worth a couple of dollars, had no earnings and little growth rate, and were higher priced than $20-$30. They both have a gain in this month, 50% and 73%. They had a gain anyway before Friday but of course Friday was a present to shorters. Anyway, whatever..... Freeus
