Thanks Ice. Some people-- the light bulb has not gone off yet. Maybe they don't have a big enough fuse panel. I checked into shorting BB's-- that IS THE best game in town! But, I found out no matter where I do it from, as long as I am a US citizen I cannot legally do it! Pretty idiotic-- let the American gov't basically outlaw Americans from being on a level trading field. Allow Evil Canadians (<G>) to make all the easy money!!!! I have not seen a BB that has NOT gone back down.

ice cube with taxikid if you reread his posts, it is a perfect example of book smarts versus street smarts. since no book he ever had during his stock broker training classes ever mentioned shorting bb's he figured it must not exist. happens in all walks of life, people leave school or read a few books and are experts in a given field. then when they get in the real world nothing seems to work out like those cozy little text book examples. thanks for the posts dont disappear on us we need posters like you here. cav
