Thanks, I have small short positions in BBBY and KSS. BBBY has somewhat of a safe haven status, as it goes up when more speculative stuff is going down. KO is one of the best examples of this "safe haven" crap. I am waiting with most of my powder to see what God does today.

<Just better chances shorting a stock that is priced in the 60's rather than the 20's or 30's ...>

Ah, someone who isn't playing my favorite end of the short game. My ideal target is a stock that is just about to be forgotten. I like to pick on ones as they enter the single-digit wasteland in a still-overvalued state.

Some of the best moves of all come when they crack below $5, as they lose marginability. I make it a point to double the position just before it slips under the surface for the last time.
