alan- i know someone here in denver that has options for 11,000 shares of MSTR, as they are an employee. that would suck after being that high. i guess he can wait another 20 years to retire. MSTR was the biggest bag of goods i have ever seen. Forbes even told the story pre top in the stock. hope you got it short. you are right about shorting. it is difficult, especially with a bullish long term view on the market. there are plenty of bounce long trades in a downtrend, so a trader can still manage to make money going long only in a down market (obviously). odds may decrease, but discipline is key. sometimes the trades are easier than in the uptrend. glad to see you are having fun sim
