Paul,

This trip into short land is mostly for 'Market Risk' reasons, not long term valuations. If I sell the AMD I lose LTCG treatment. If I short INTC I can get rid of some 'Market Risk' while holding out for the LTCGs.

I didn't expect major drops, but this morning's downgrades, ill conceived though I think they may be, illustrate the kinds of things that can happen.

Good luck in your investing.
