Ever since I found out that my broker would short odd lots, I have been wishing I had found it out sooner, since I think I could have set up a sky-high P/E portfolio with a basket of stocks that would have done better than the XLK, QQQ, and--now--the SPY shorts that I hold. And with cheap Internet commissions one could actually do that. But at this point I think will just stick with my SPY short position for a while. Plus the YDXXJ December 2002 puts on the Dow (strike 140) that are actually offer the buyer a premium well above the price, selling now at about $2650 for $14,000 worth of Dow, with the actual Dow at $10,644. But mainly I am still hanging in with an array of NG stocks some of which I hope may be takeovers.
