I'd like to cut ELN and JPM loose at my soonest opportunity and put half of the proceeds into a GOOG short position, 1/4 into BME short, and 1/4 into more WPL long.


Ok, looks like this came in after the Friday close, so we'll do it based on Monday (the next trading day) close. If I remember!

As Steve points out, you can only be short one stock at a time. So......whattaya wanna do?

Hi SI Bob,

You have an order in for two short positions here, and only one is allowed, so I'll hold off doing anything until you clarify what exactly you'd like to do. Here's your current portfolio:

ELN $22.49 1.187 $26.70 $19.11 18%
WPL $9.46 2.213 $20.94 $10.25 -8%
BGG $25.23 0.812 $20.49 $27.93 -10%
JPM $47.44 0.524 $24.86 $43.30 10%
SI Bob Total = $92.99
