TA and Mark: Glad you are making money shorting BRCM. Unfortunately, selling short is not all that interesting to me (esp. BRCM since it has way more upside than downside potential). If you really have some nerve try this on some lower valued stocks where the %% gains would be much higher. For example, NT JDSU or even XRX etc. Personally, I would rather sell stocks that rise a few points while keeping my risk profile low. Shorting a stock only makes money as it heads toward zero (an absolute floor); going long has no limit on the upside. To each their own.
