Welcome to the dark side my friend! You have picked some real stomach turners in XCIT and LCOS. Hang in there when the going gets rough because I have found that my lowest moments were right before they REALLY turned around and went my way.(I know kinda like finding your keys in the last place ya look, but its still true!) My biggest mistake when I started to short was getting too scared and covering too soon. As I look back if I HAD held onto my shorts that I knew were dogs, I would have made nothing short of a fortune! As it is I am still a working stiff. c):-) Good Luck!

Sam,

Looks like you picked a good day to start shorting!

S&P futures down 10 and NSDQ down 25 on GLOBEX.

But don't short Yahoo.

It is the first momentum stock in history that will go up forever.

You may not have realized this, but Yahoo is no longer a search engine...it is now a "global internet media" company which is competing head-to-head with CBS, ABC, and NBC. For more details, check out the Yahoo thread.
