Good morning Mr. Smart, <<Good job. Looks like the selling is picking up speed. You made the right decision shorting at 278. I was waiting for it to go higher before shorting, I guess that I missed the good opportunity.>> Yup, made the right decision to short yesterday at 278. However, made the wrong decision to cover around 275. I wasn't paying much attention to YHOO yesterday; thus, when I turned back to it at 263ish, I decided the fall was imminent and shorted again. Considered covering around 255 area but then got distracted by other positions. Never returned to YHOO and left short open through the close. Pre-market indicates a down opening so I'll let it ride and wait for my level. The good news is that the positions I was focused on yesterday are looking to rocket today. All are ready to open up from yesterday's close. And regardless of my trading success, ORCL will carry me to the promised land by itself. Ellison is not only a smart technologist but a good sailor too! Hope you have a good day... ctm
