Sheldon, thanks for the encouragement. Fortunately I only covered half of my short yesterday, so today helped about half as much as yesterday hurt. I will be watching the open carefully in the morning. It may be that the Internet party is over. I guessed that it was at a top yesterday when I covered half knowing it was probably a wrong move, but I have fixed rules about when I start to bail out of a position (based on position as percentage of my account) and we reached that point at $180. My rules are designed to allow me to sleep at night! But today I should have put the short back in and did not have the guts so I watched it go down with only half my position in place.
