You guys dont even know how to pick a good company to buy, let alone shorting a stock. If you judge you investment decision based on PE and valuations, you are a dumb idiot. Let me give some of my wisdom: Thank you for the compliments and sharing your wisdom. Good luck! -Mohan

You are naive if you think specialists can manipulate the markets to that extent. Always nice to have someone to blame if things don't go your way, though. What are your selection criteria? Do you talk to the specialists?

But then, specialists are allowed to command prices unilaterally, so do you think that he/she will let you cover at a lower price?<< and... >>If you are still shorting AOL, dont cover yet. I believe it will correct in a major way.<< does the term "cognitive dissidence" mean anything to you?
