David, do you find playing the short side of the market is different than playing the long side on short term trades? I would think that the short would involve a different strategy that just it being an "opposite" reflection of a long. For instance in a bullmarket sotcks go down much more quickly down than up, but they do not go as far down as they have gone up. One reason may be that any signs of strength in a stock would make those short term shorts nervous and more prone to cover. Also, do you believe that an essential part of a trader's approach to the market is that they have to be able to play the short side of the market? Bob Graham
