There is no such thing as a disorganized short. They are all members of illicit organizations - united in their common purpose to undermine the US economy. Anybody trashing a stock is obviously short - why else would they do it? And if they are short it stands to reason that they belong to one of these groups. QED.

Catlady, I think that would depend on if your sock drawer is on the right or left side of the dresser. In case you are speaking of a chest of drawers, we would have to determine which drawer is higher and factor in if you short more on even or odd days. We then take the derivative of the tangent of pi# of socks/#of T-shirtscalender date(Julian)/#of days in the calender month (Mayan). If this # X 1000 is greater than the dollar amount of your current short position then you are organized. Otherwise, you have to join me on the disorganized side of the room. Hope this helps. lee
