You were down EIGHTY points on your trade and you call it a success?... I have tried to use my experience to educate others on the thread but instead of that its making me stupid! Why, Yes it was a success. I made a considerable amount of money on that trade. If I make 30% or 40% on a trade, I consider it a success, don't you? Sure, I'd love it if I was always "up" on every trade I make, from the moment I make it, but that's unreasonable. Everybody has "experience". No one needs you to educate them. Your use of that term is pretentious in the extreme. My curiosity is aroused, How is it making you stupid? (I don't think you're stupid. Your opinion is that YHOO is not a good short at this time. You could be right. What I objected to was the stridency of your post. You're undergoing short panic, and you're not even short the stock.)
