Still short that damn evil tower company, but only 300 shares. :(

In August I was long Dell 1000 shares on the day of their earnings announcement. My wife doesn't like to hold over earnings (bad times from drillers!), so we sold. Next day it went from 109 to 120. Ouch! I guess I would have a hard time shorting dell,too. At least now.

ALthough I'm not an SEC guru, the evil tower's earnings are due Tuesday. They are sure waiting until the last possible second, aren't they?
