What are the lowest prices at which you would advise shorting AVNT and ZITL?

Roger, A similar mistake. I first got interested in shorting IPIC because it barely moved the day of the announcement. On Monday(?) Sept. 15 it closed at 167/8. It placed a limit order to short the shares at 167/8! plenty of volume at 163/4 on that day! I did not short until a couple of days later at 137/16 over 3 dollars lower! I am yet to make that much on the short!

Roger, I can testify to that one.

I put a limit short order on DDIM on grey Monday, only to have it open a quarter point lower, and never look back. I tell ya, that one hurts.

I console my self with the one about "...pigs get stuck." I don't want to be a pig.
