roger... Looks like you made money today by shorting MSFT. Congrats. MSFT is my longest and biggest individual stock holding. I stupidly sold some (not all my holdings in MSFT) covered LEAP calls some time ago and it took off. It is coming back into the range where I might just cover them. It would need to drop another 5% or so but in this market, who knows. A little loss in buying them back is a whole lot better than the 20% cap gains tax since I consider MSFT a core long term holding. Your other shorts did very well today. Congrats again. bob t.
