<<<<Because of you, I learned how to short ... and started shorting banks and brokerage firms in August>> <You're lying.> WRONG. Here's what I've been in and out of (and still have position in some). All major participants in bail-out. Started with 19 institutions- Now up to 35: CMB JPM BT MER LEH MWD TRV (They're involved with 90% of derivative market) Also (though not publicly involved with LTCM bail-out): CCI - (Merger with TRV with a lot of LTCM exposure) BAC - Biggest exposure of any bank in Brazil Also (though not a bank): TIF (Tiffany's): Sales down in ALL major stores: LA, SF, NY ... and Japan. They've already been warning about this and upcoming quarters. Christmas looks bleak. I don't see increase in sales on BIG-TICKET items anytime soon. Still think I'm lying? - LOL Cheryl
