Brother Druss, Ah feel yore pain. Ah realize that temptation is a constant companion to the hungry man. Ah jest ask you to resist that devil as best you can. Sure, there is easy money to be made on some real woofers out there...but do they deserve to be shorted?!?!? Ah mean, and you know, that there are some companies that are designed for nothing but taking money from investors so some people can live high...but you MUST resist that devil on yore shoulder and walk the righteous path. Ah say, yea-ess ah do say, thou shalt not short. Brother, resist that devil. Seek the light!!!! lee

Hi - Was just browsing around and I came upon your thread's messages. I didn't know that SI was also a place for religious stuff. These messages remind me of the Elmer Gantry movie I saw when I was a teenager. Burt Lancaster was a great Elmer Gantry. However, I'm having a tough time figuring out the correlation of religion and shorting stocks. Don't you know that the law of gravity also applies to stock prices: What goes up must also come down so that it may go up again and so on. Short sellers fit into the scheme of things or they would not be. Doesn't the bible say something about that? Something like "For everything there is a purpose" and so on. However, I do not think that religious stuff fits into the purpose for the Silicon Investor website. Have a nice day. Rob
