You just watch and see how long this bear market rally runs. I hope it runs a long way personally. Will make me feel comfortable getting short this crap again. Monty, I unloaded a bunch of positions on Thursday and haven't re-opened any new ones yet. I'm sitting on pretty much no exposure, long and short. I don't have any plans of making moves until I get a feel for where this rally may take us. Will it be a day or a month? When is the time to launch the nuclear short strike? chic PS- I can't wait until this election crap is finally over so we can get back to focusing on terrible business fundamentals and high valuations.

What clowns like you don't realize is that the ones that are short (not options...stock) don't usually take them home with us at nite. For the most part we know when to sell the longs and buy to cover the shorts. Those little late day rallies that you geniuses buy looking for a breakout is the shorts covering OK, so you are just a daytrader. Now that you had a couple of months of success, you seem to know when to short. You must have made a lot of money going "long" in the last couple of years since you know what to do.<g> Congrats on that success as well.<g> Short the next rally---take your pick, chips, optical, networkers. Let me know when you have gone short since telling me afterwards that you have covered does not indicate impress me at all. Also no point telling us about your day trade shorts. If you truly believe the market is going to head down, tell me about some of your longer term shorts. I daytrade but don't mix it up with my long holdings. My long holdings are based upon my understanding of the fundamentals while the shorting is just trying to ride the momentum. Of course, most of my money is long. There is no point telling us after the fact of your great trades. I am telling you my big positions, JDSU, PMCS,JNPR,VTSS,ASML. I am heavily invested in these as well as the semiconductor holdrs (SMH) and do have a smaller position in Cisco. Obviously I am not concerned about holding these stocks. I would like to know what you are shorting..so I can consider going long that one.<g> BTW--Don't take my comments too seriously; I don't mean them to be offensive. I am just interested in knowing your positions prior a little ahead of time...so that you get more credibility in market timing. Who knows...I might learn from you!
