My Raymond James broker was just now able to grab me some shorts in ITB. It had not been available to short for the past several days, so I'm in :-) Still no go on XHB shorts. One thing he told me that I did not realize, and that is, when he tries to short for me, he first goes thru the Raymond James inventory, and if there is a long position, then I will get my short position. If none, then he goes to the street, and he told me that "OTHER BROKERAGE HOUSES DO NOT HAVE TO OFFER UP THEIR SHORTS TO HIM, AS THEY MAY HOLD THEM BACK AND SAVE THEM FOR THEIR OWN CLIENTS IF THEY FEEL THEIR OWN CLIENTS WILL WANT TO TAKE A SHORT POSITION SOON".......interesting

After finally getting effectively hedged, I'm looking to begin reentering the dark side just a little above these levels - SPX 1420, BKX 100. Retail looks to be at pretty serious resistance right now. Message 24274218 Of course, if we blow through those levels, I'll hang on a little longer. I'd love to take a break, but I don't think 2008 is going to be an easy year to have money in the market. I hear you on the homebuilder reentry pain, but there are lots of reasons for it to turn here. `BC
