Hi John; Guess the post were your 15 min ran out didn't get to me any way. I was to long winded in my post, mostly wanted to say if your going to short you need to track the short interest. If it's highly shorted, if not you still need to know that. And that seems to be left out of most the post I read. How short interset goes up/down effects the stock more than any other factor on highly sjorted stocks. I'm not given you info I read somewere or name droping I did the work and know it for a fact have downloaded the nasd data, and charted them over laying the short interset with th price. It's pointless to argue with anyone has not done this. I'm just encorageing it. Not hyping any thing, I play the spy and don't care what books you read it's good a good long/short play for any one who wants to get in it and do their own work, this is short term trading and market timing and it works for them that can, and don't for them that can't. I just started posting my SPY positions on another thread within 10 to 15 min of taking them, that's not to draw people in but just for the record, to bug the naysayers who keep telling me it can't be done. When I ask people how many shares of xyz they shorted were shorted last month and they go daa..I wonder what they are doing playing short period. Jim
