consider going SHORT

There's short and SHORT. Given the proclivities and lack of knowledge of the dangers associated with going SHORT that have been exhibited on this board, I'll refrain. OTOH some judicious shorting (lower case) should be investigated. At the very least some well timed CC writing should be considered. Even here the possibility of an IT rally should be considered. So prior to inaugurating a CC position, one should investigate repair strategies. What I'm saying is that the market can be a very dangerous place. For those new to the market (posters or lurkers) be careful. Have an exit strategy prior to entering a trade - long or short.
