Well... I just decided to buy a book online... Hmmm... I went to the 'ol Amazonian and found it for... btw the book was Culture Shock : Philippines. Item(s) Subtotal: $ 10.36 Shipping & Handling: $ 3.95 Tax: $ 0.00 ------- TOTAL DUE: $ 14.31 Then went to Borders and they wanted.... Merchandise Subtotal 9.06 Shipping 3.95 ------- Total $ 13.01 Hmmmmm.... Guess which one I bought.... anyways I'm happy to have a small short position on this one that I'll hold til it comes back down to earth. I have bought books from Amazon in the past and have been satisfied with the service.... but I'm sure Border's can also handle the terribly difficult task of dropping a book in the mail...the stock is worth every penny of $10/share.

Peter, >> is day trading machine with a positive bias. The cycle repeats daily. Most of the traders have been bulls. I don't think it is a bull vs bear playing field. The bears have been marginalized long ago. No sense in loosing more money making a last stand. I'm focusing on the short term, although it is a pain to be that narrow.<< Just be careful when you go long and it may drop drastically without a warning. See, the pattern for the last two weeks may not continue that way and it may stop when you just get in. Of course, I have a bear's bias. The reason I am short and have lost a lot of money, I intend to stick around. I keep adding some more puts when it goes higher which was not really wise in the beginning. Now, I think it would be hard to climb further. Don't quote me that we said this when it was $40. I may day trade for long against my short but only 1/3. Good luck! Felicia
