Looking back.. I was reviewing a few of my recent shorts. I was fairly new to the short sellers game. I used to think short was a short term play. I post this for new people to the shorting areana. I think there will be more and more looking to the short side. I just checked back on some of my shorts on high flying stocks, in general if you short against the momentum be prepared to stick to your guns if a stock is not worth the money in time your play will work out. In some cases this has been a painfull experience for me but I have learned. Keep a reserve and stick to your guns: Symbol Short at Coverd at Profit Loss Optimal Cover Optimal ------ -------- --------- ----------- ------------- ------- MCOM 12 12 3/8 - 3/8 11 + 1 3/8 MCOM 15 15 5/8 - 5/8 11 + 4 5/8 BONZ 10 10 1/4 - 1/4 8 + 1 3/4 BONZ 11 3/8 10 + 1 3/8 8 + 3 3/8 ONSL 19 3/4 20 - 1/4 16 + 3 3/4 ONSL 24 3/4 22 1/2 + 1 1/4 16 + 6 1/2 ONSL 27 3/4 22 1/2 + 5 1/4 16 + 11 3/4 FWIW
