"If not, please explain it simple terms I can understand" I can't tell you what's right, only what's wrong. I've never been able to figure out the correct answer, unless one can accept a range between 100% and infinite. Since there's no real investment, the return is infinite. But since there is a requirement to post security, you could work off the security requirement. But the trouble with that is that fluctuates during the life of the short. I think the fact that so many can argue so long and substantially mutually exclusive points substantiates my non-position. -g- Regards, Barb

Joe, just a couple of observations re: short vrs long positions 1. Normally when a person goes long to make a substantial profit, he is talking a time frame of several months to years. Most shorters are talking about 1-3 days on many trades. For instance if Po-Dunk stock runs from $4.00 to $8.00 (in 3-4 days), it will drop $2-3 in a couple of days. 2. All of which gets into my next point. All that truly matters is my total net profit of 10-20% at the end of the month. Compound this year after year and someday, I'll have a retirement to be proud of. Techie
