Can't wait for the mo-mos to get aggressive again. I was getting bored, but now, it seems like they're trying to put on the rally caps and bidding everything up. Long live the bull and the pump and dumps.

Few more sessions like today's and all the speculators will be back. Cash advances from credit card + full margin and they are back in business. I certainly hope so Rajiv. Funny as this might sound, I dont think shorters made too much money on this 40% decline in nasdaq. You short a highflier, worthless crappy stock @ 100, cover @ 80 and wait for a bounce, it doesnt come. You force yourself to short more @ 70 with a smaller size, it drops to 60 where you cover. Then you try one more time with an even smaller size @ 50, cover @ 40, and then watch in pain as the stock drifts down to 20. :) I guess that is why the market dropped as hard as it did, there were no shorts to cover, noone was ready for this big of a decline. So IMO, contrary to popular belief, shorts did not make too much money in the decline, they just didn't lose any. (actually in some cases they did, some of the shorts I follow on SI, were going long some internet stocks @ much higher levels. I guess that comes from the fact that shorts in a bull market are just contrarians after all and when market turns bearish, they turn bullish?, not sure really, dont have any other explanation for going long crap @ any price.) Well, this turned out to be somewhat offtopic post. I always valued your opinion and sure hope the gamblers come back to the casino. :) regards,
