We've hit an iceberg and are taking on water and there's not enough lifeboats for the sheeple. Joey, why should they panic? They all secured places in lifeboats on the other side of the ship by slipping a wad of cash into an officer's pocket. Besides, Abby says the ship can't sink - it's already bottomed. Wait, that was their brokers who secured places in the boats. The sheeple, thinking they were clever, first class bulls, were really steer(age). Speaking of sheeple, I was thinking of buying a new coat to better weather the storm - The BearWear Shearling 300 from Pacific Trekking pacifictrekking.com ;-) Bob

just my opinion, but i covered my shorts early this morning thinking we would have a "short" covering rally for a few days. looks like i may be right for a while. also the public being brainwashed into the "stocks can only go up" mentality just helps the rally. but for us shorters, it just represents another opportunity to find weak stocks which are vulnerable. the turmoil in the markets is not over. mark my words. covered sctr at 33 and now looking to reenter above 36. good luck
