Robert, I agree that I want markets to move - one way or the other. I don't care which way. It was this statement that threw me:

"Shorting any stock in uncertain markets can be hazardous to
a portfolio."

My philosophy is taking a position in any stock in uncertain markets can be hazardous to a portfolio. I simply couldn't understand how being short is riskier than being long, other than your downside being infinite (which I've yet to see happen).

HLIT couldn't break through 58 for the third time, I'm planning on making the short bucks tomorrow, but will have the whiplash brace ready!
