Zeev, Your posts this week have been incredible. Thanks for all of your excellent work. I appreciate you sharing your long-term view of the market, short-term outlook, as well as your favorite ponies for the long ride. I have printed out copies of all of these posts and also saved .HTM versions of them. One question: For those of us with the emotional make-up to short, i.e., we failed to put stops in and are very long on long-term "investments" right now !!! : - ( , what DOGS would you recommend to short as the NAZ drops from 3800 to ~3000 over the next couple weeks? I would really like to balance my portfolio as much as possible in preparation for the possible down-draft, but I don't want to "lock in the losses" on several positions and I can't do covered calls, so shorting dogs looks like my best chance to try to at least break even over the next two weeks so that I will have some dry powder when the bargains are available. I stuck my toe in with a short on QQQ and DIA, but based on comments you have made previously, some stocks will drop ~50% when the indexes drop ~30%, so looking for true dogs seems like the best approach. Any input would be greatly appreciated !!! 8 - ) Thanks again! Still learning -- HB
