I figured you were still long. I have to believe TYC eventually will crash under its huge debt load but nonetheless, I am nervous doing this short. Maybe you could get options privledges. Then you could buy a put and limit your possible losses while still allowing for possible large gains. The downside is the put eventually expires and the stock has to make its move before the expiration date for you to make money. Tim, I do have option authority but I just do not get around to learning how options work. Frankly, I have a block against them that I need to get over. I even printed out your recent post on the subject and have yet to go over it. ;~(( ted
