I'm getting so flippin' bored with this market I'm about ready to go to cash and fageddaboudit... I did ya one better and went short. It was wierd at first, but you get used to it. Seeing a lot of green helps. So does the opportunity to sell covered puts. If you think about it, 2000-2001 for bears is a lot like 1999 was for bulls. You could short pretty much anything and look like a genius. Of course, it's going to end at some point. When it does, I'm looking forward to going long and selling CCs again. dM
