Mark, Same game different twist. The thing that scares me about "shorts" is unlimited exposure on the upside. For example:shorting BAY or XCIT and somebody buys the company while you are in a business meeting,...etc. Even with stops, you get knocked out on high volatility. I think the solution may be buying put options. Chance to make good profits AND limited loss prospects. (you can't lose more than you bet) I made a quick scan of SI threads looking for this philosophy and did not find any descent threads. Give it a thought and let me know what you think. Dan
