I'm not convinced of the bottom put in here. We haven't even had a recession yet amidst the biggest financial storm since the Depression.

I've been selling stuff that's done well for me: Walmart, Yum Brands, UNFI, Briggs & Stratton, Avery Dennison, Bed Bath Beyond, Dr. Pepper Snapple, Sysco, Patterson Energy and stuff that's neutralish - Hansen, Robert Half, Sealed Air, Travelers.

I haven't bought much: AIB at $16.90, Applied Materials at $16.44, a little Google, a little EBAY.

To my knowledge short position don't have to be closed, but no new short positions can be established. It matters only for retail investors anyways. The big boys or hedge fund can synthesize a short position in the future market. Also most of he action that has has been in the credit derivative market where trading is not regulated.
