Mask does have the right idea. A trader needs to be able to use the short side as well. Two guns a always better than one, and most here are long side traders such as myself. I have shorted in the past but not as frequently as I should. Missed a few points on the long side in WCII, but made most of it up with shorting. Maybe be difficult to short much going into a season that traditionally is a long arena. Practice does help out, and gets one used to the swing of things. AS always, timing is the key.

Mark: didn't mean to imply a top gun trader cann't play both sides; in fact, in most good growth stocks, it is only normal for a pullback to occur while in it's uptrend. I'm sure you do fine playing both sides, and I wish you luck. Sparky
