Tommaso literal, and for once we are squarely on opposite sides. At least it makes me feel better. Too much agreement makes me nervous.

By the way, I may have a mini buy signal in my turnip heaps by the middle of next week. Kind of an early year end rally. I am not sure yet, two of the turnips have turned red, an ominous signal for the bears. I wish my tea leaves would confirm, but I'll have to see what happens in the next three trading days before the tea leaves can confirm the turnips heap.

This kind of gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside, I actually hate being a bear, it makes me feel like the scoundrel that stole Christmas (someone help, these metaphors kill me more than being a bear) <VBG>.

Tommaso, Zeew, for selling short you must BORROW shares!!

As other sell, the borrowing gets more difficult, as new longs will
(may) refuse to let their shares floating around, and by that guarding their stock prices.

I will not go nto the mechanics of the short transaction as various interest rates split's and fees are involved.

In a nutshell it is easier to BUY shares than SELLING SHORT.

Happy Trading
