Can't see it.. Permashorts do not exist in real-life trading. Markets climb something like 75% of calendar time, wiping out any real-life-and-trading permashorts. Shorts, like myself currently, pick a time when probabilities say things are too strung out to go higher much longer. When things get down to a "realistic" level, you start looking for that uptrend again, and join in.. become a bull, buy the dips, and all the wonderfull things that we've been enjoying for the last many years. But the trick is to know when things are changing...leave 5 cents on the table for the next guy to try to earn..., and look at the trend, look at the probabilities...and go forward. When I read many of the entries here, I myself am confused. I hear the words BULL, BULL, BULL...but this is not what I see when I try to interpret the trades. BWDIK, I left the house before even the bus drove up...<ggg> SP
