My example was just to show that if a stock acted as shown.....35 to 2.00....or 2.00 to.35.....having the same amount of shares short or long would produce the same total dollar profit. Unfortunately I cannot dictate what price a stock will be when i go long or short and that determines how much of my portfolio I will commit to a position. As I said it is better to go from .35 to 2.00 BUT going the other way with the same amount of shares would produce the same dollars, you have to put more up and percentage gain is not the same.......but dollar for dollar it is.....that's all i said....whatever else everyone wants to read into it.....go ahead...that's what a thread is for....well most anyway <G>
