Excuse me? I, too, have short positions open. Positions that I opened for sound, solid financial and fundamental reasons. Some many months old, some less than two weeks old. Blood money?????? Well, awwwriighhhttt bubba. Okay, now let's put the shoe on the other foot... I see around SI and other places that are calling for a rally to caused directly or indirectly by this tragedy. So, any one that goes long to benefit from such an event would be accepting blood money? So, are you the kettle or the pot and how black are we? I suggest that you try something new .... like engaging your brain before you start typing. JMHO, of course. lee

Long or short, I am investing in the market, not the tragedy. This is a two sided issue with profits that can be made both ways, and I fail to see why suddenly the short side is solely associated with this and considered bad. In fact, I fail to see why any kind of market activity is associated in this manner with the tragedy and that it should be curtailed. Trading in the markets, again long or short, is a business of not only retail investors such as I, but also of large brokers and funds. America must continue with business to be able to move on, not be crippled by halting it. We are all deeply affected by what has happened but everywhere I look people are still going to work and doing what they normally do. Money needs to be made, families fed, and bills paid.
