Hi Cactus! Hey, that sounds great! Super family time. We use call them adventure trips, sleeping in the same room, etc. Man, we would play rough-house with the boys, bouncing up/down on the beds, kicking their legs out from under the boys when they were little. One incident resulted in 4-5 stitches in number two son's head. I got in trouble over that one. (g) Great memories. Have fun with the family, jpg! RR

I'm short the SPX via an ETF right now. I've been using the Proshares short and ultra short funds to go short in my IRA. I figure that must be what you are using, JPG. I've been trading the ones that track the Dow, the SPX, and Naz. There are others that I want to look into further. I forget their symbols right now. proshares.com Obviously, they have leveraged Long sided ones that follow 2x the same markets. I like using them both long and short. I imagine their popularity will grow as others hear about them.
