"Looking for Dow 2000 by year 2000." There is a bug which will make it go to 20,000 instead.

If I went short when I went long and went long when I went short I would be a rich and happy man. Now I'm only a happy man with $ 96 in my account and a load of Puts waiting for Armegedon. Also got my 1oz gold Canadian Mountie Coins (re-deemable by Canadian govt until 12/99 for US funds of $ 310). Looking for Dow 2000 by year 2000. Joey, I've also lost a ton shorting when I should have been long. If a crash comes, I'd still probably only be closer to break-even, rather than ahead. I'm tempted to join you in buying some leap puts, but I've already lost so much with near-term puts, that I'm reluctant to mess with options any more. I hope things work out well for you. You're one of my heroes, and I think you deserve to be rich, for the huge amount of time and effort you've put into locating bearish insights, which you've hyperlinked for us.
