I was trying to play QWST to the short side not long. It had a bearish chart last night so I tried to play puts. Luckily I didn't fill. I did get a partial later that I exited on a scalp that barely covered commisions. I like many of the companies I short but go with the general market direction and TA at the time of the trade. I haven't played the long side for weeks now since the threat of a sudden drop is ever present right now. On rallies, I find bad news companies or stocks that have run too far too fast. Then when the market tops, I load up on every thing. I think we are nearing a short term bottom so I am expecting a slight bounce now. Good Luck, Lee
