Tee Hee well I should have made a lot more money shorting Sap than I have.... I correctly picked the moment for shorting, when Sap was trading at around 55 was my first short trade, but my market sentiment was off and I thought there was a real possibility that the entire mkt could rally. Therefore, my position was on the smallish side for me.

Thats the thing about shorting Sap that I learned from the experience... its the closest thing to a blue chip we have in ERP and market direction really matters with those blue chip stocks. If the mkt goes up, Sap generally goes up.

Anyway I was wrong in picking Sap over psft - I considered shorting psft but that CC changed my mind. Wow what a wierd experience the last few weeks with psft has been.

I only like Sap as a short or a Sebl long in enterprise software right now. I was hoping for a dip in Sebl today... didnt get it.

Hi MM,
I'm not smart enough (or courageous enough) to short stocks and make money. Also, most of my investments are IRA which is rather limited. So I just try to average down, hoping against hope that a bottom is actually in our future.

Your estimate of mid teens (or was that MH's) is my guess. I was very encouraged that Michelle said she may buy some if it goes lower. You two are my smart money people.

Regards
