Yes, it has been a good year. Could have been better if I had sold some big techs at the peak but's that just coulda, woulda, shoulda...more water long gone under the bridge and out to sea. I put in a limit short today for MICCF, a European comapny which loses lots of money all over the world providing cellular services. Can't find any info on them, which is a positive sign in my book. If you are thinking about shorting, watch stocks that were weak recently and see if they run up at the open. If they fade later, that's the time to pounce. I wouldn't short at market prices at the open unless you are willing to be underwater a few points. I have very tight stops on all my recent shorts. Good luck.
