The stock right? No sir.

My philosopy is, picking shorts for the right reasons
is every bit as difficult as picking longs. With a
"pure" short position you pay interest and losses are
theoretically unlimited. With synthetic short positions
utilizing options you have the additional "time" burden.
There are always good long candidates... why play the
downside when you must contend with these extra
disadvantages? I prefer the path of least resistance<gg>.

Meathead,

Heard a rumor that TXN has come out with some sort of jell-like substance that can make the gaps in chips closer togather without degradation thus speeding it up (weak statement but its all I got). Have you heard anything?

Steve.
