You're right of course. I never did buy ASND--just watched it. It didn't get low enough anyways. I'm still short NOVL from 3+ weeks ago. I'm getting good in the money now. Shorted COMS as well for a position trade. Had a hard time trying to make any money off of XCIT today. Lost commissions a couple times, and $5/16 one time.

Imagine if you could have held that short for the 5 point drop!

Here's an amateur question, but I have never made this much money on a short. I shorted PVN at $60.3125. I only bought 700 shares. However, I still want to short it, but if I want to buy more shares with the money I have made on the short already. Do I have to cover and reshort? I hope I'm explaining this right. What I want to do is accumulate more shares for the drop downward, but I want to do that with the money I have made on this very short. If I cover I will be able to short 1000 shares and not only have 700 shares. However, if I cover, I may not be able to enter back into a short position. What are my options? NASDBULL
