Doc, the system saved our asses but also did trick to my mind. However, I wonder if we can borrow shares to short even if we tried again. Anyway, think we can learn something here and make that evil tower pay for our missed opportunity?

Well, I'll join the shorts not going down bunch. Covered FMO [probably reacting to settlement of GM strike] and MU [this dog has legs]... Trouble shorting the DOW is that everything is so damn expensive [kind of catch-22]... Will stay on sidelines for now and preserve capital... This Clinton thing is not going to have a positive effect on stocks, as the market doesn't like change or perception of political instability. It will also provide a convenient excuse for the long awaited/needed correction.
