<Curious why BBY was not on your list of retail shorts>

I've looked at it and considered. It's overpriced, and insider have been selling in droves all summer, so I'm sure it will work. I've passed to date, as I like their stores. I'm looking at GTRC now that it looks like the big short position has been squeezed down.

Crusty.

That's a good reminder about USPIX. Ameritrade doesn't have access to USPIX (from Profunds), but does have access to RYVNX (from Rydex) which is more or less equivalent... 2x the inverse of the NASDAQ 100. There is however a $25,000 minimum initial purchase ($15,000 with USPIX).

Best,

vt
