< If you handle longs better than shorts, by all means don't change. > Dan, One of my points in commenting on the short issue earlier was to get some people to think about how they'd trade in a downtrending market where the long opportunities may not be so obvious. And if long opportunites become more scarce what's a trader to do that focuses only on the long side? I think of a football analogy at times ... how often do you see a team that only passes (or only runs) the ball? Not often ... but to have BOTH a passing and ground game makes them more versatile and improves their chances of winning each game. Dave
