(Besides, everyone knows that short-term dark-side trading is the only way to make money in the market!) <g> I've done well this YTD >40% return without visiting the "DarkSide" shorting. I go into cash and trade in the Cost Averaging Down method. I've about the same amount of stock in this specific account as I did at the start of the year. But, I've 40% more in cash. For these 3000 shares starting the year @ about $40.00, I averaged their cost down to less than about $26.00. No Dark Side, shorts, no put, nor naked calls. Once we all agree we have turned around. I plan on buying $12,000 - $15,000 in Leaps two years out, hoping for 300 - 400 contracts. But that buy signal has not shown it's sign yet. Stan
