Brec's argument that shorts are more risky

That wasn't really my argument. (That shorts are more risky may or may not be true, but it's not what I'm saying.) I'm saying that the change in risk as the position incurs unrealized losses is positive for shorts and negative for longs.

(I'm kind of sorry I brought it up, because it's really off-topic w/r day trading; it was originally like an aside, and I didn't expect a subthread.)
