reshorting ELON Ah, you smarteee! I'm thinking that when I buy back sold puts, it's probably a good time to short that stock...in the future when I sell something because I've reached my target price and more, it's probably a good time to short, also. But shorting is so very very hazardous,I think every dollar is truly earned in any short. Best of luck to all: it may be a long dry summer for our portfolios. I don't think the bear market will continue forever, but I do think the bull is dead and not until a new one arises and confidence returns will we breathe easy. Freeus
