<<Congratulations on a winning trade, however!>> Thanks....although I didnt make squat. As far as shorting the market.....I have never wanted to take that chance. Sure, in hindsight, I should have shorted the hell out of everything, but I think shorting is much more of a gamble...playing the casino, then simply going long, and or going long and writing cc's...or buying a few calls. I was really wanting to short ntapwhen it was at like $140 or close to it.....I just didn't have the courage to do it. I really thought it would eventually get smacked, but then again, it could have shot to $200 in the blink of an eye. Right now....better safe then sorry. Sitting tight...hoping and praying that nov/dec are strong for my bloated pigs and my value plays. Keith
