Any ideas for tomorrows market action? I'll say fairly strong open with selling into the strength by the smarter investors. A retest of lows is unavoidable somewhere short term IMO.

>>>Peter, actually it is not a good idea to short all the way to zero. Need to cover while stock is still trading.<<<

Well, one must take into account margin maintenance requirements as well. Waterhouse requires one to keep 2.50/share to maintain a short on a stock such as BXMNF. With the change in the tax law, it makes no sense to squeeze out that last penny or two. And hey, BXMNF was up 300% on Friday (.01 to .04 on 4800 shares).
