Why in the world would you short DELL when you can short so many other more deserving companies??? "The challenge." Superman can stop a speeding train, too, but I wouldn't care to try. If it's challenge you want, climb Everest. If it's ultimate risk you're after, smear yourself in blood and go swimming off the Barrier Reef. In the meantime, thank you for your contributions to the Bachman and Alison Retirement and Leisure Enjoyment Fund. We hope to use it to tour Australia and New Zealand soon. <vbg> Regards, 3.

"To short MSFT because I want to take the challenge." That has to be the greatest motivation for an investor. It's pretty similar to buying BOST and trying to make $$$ because 'I want to take challenge'. People invest in stock market because they want to get rich. And when someone get to that level (high 7 or 8 figures), they will have some extra $$$ to lose on a bet. Just for fun. Judging by your losses in DELL last time, it seems that you are operating in a much less level. It must be super exciting to risk losing 5-10% of your portfolio by going against the best companies in one trade. good luck, larry! Please come back to short DELL in October and November to get into challenge round three. Actually I believe that shorting AMZN will be far more exciting and challenging because of the high volatility of the issue. Don't you want to have a feeling about roller coaster riding?:)
