A stop loss order becomes a market order-you are not guaranteed to get your price

I would hate to throw out a market order in the frenzy of a short squeeze

<< did, however, make a lot of money shorting and reshorting the QQQs, and with an index you are not going to get a totally unexpected good-news doubling overnight that ruins you.>>

Exactly my point. Also stocks like IBM MSFT move pretty much with the market, these will not double on news and are not IMO any riskier to have short here than long.

I had index puts in the past. Thse look good right now.
