Re: Rocky's "We are entering a correction. You heard it here first." No, Rocky. We've been hearing that from thousands of geniuses like you for 5 years now. Of course, you will be right someday. Maybe once the Dow hits 15,000 and you've been losing money on shorts the entire time. Infoseek at $32. I have after market time and sales. You're hosed once again. Congratulations.

My take is that any rally tomorrow won't last. They're all horribly overvalued right now. From that quote, I'm still comfortably ahead in my short by $2. We are entering a correction. You heard it here first. NEVER..EVER try to time the market. You will lose. NOBODY can consistently predict the future movements of the market or the day to day gyrations. I'm having a hard time figuring out whether you're an investor or a trader. By your recent posts, I would assume that you think of yourself as a trader. Traders usually adhere to one basic principle; they rarely take positions in securities during the release of earnings. Too much risk. SEEK is a prime example of this inherent risk. Market closed .... you're losing money ... and there's simply not a damn thing you can do about it. Most traders take it off the table before the bell. I just can't imagine someone shorting an internet search engine company @ $32 bucks. For goodness sakes, why not Yahoo? Same valuations and you certainly have more profit potential in a $100 issue than a $32 issue. I'm really trying to understand... SEEK +5 and IOM going back to $9....
