no- hogs get slaughtered. Pigs get fat- or something like that. But you probably don't want to be fat either.

Look, buddy ... there is no way the nets can sustain the gains that they have ... so I am looking for a pullback (or a crash - whatever you want to call it) ... But don't force the issue, just be patient ??? I don't like to play the short side on the net dudes 1) there is a maximum you can make on the short side 2) if there is any news (like an alliance or whatever), it can send them flying and if you get caught on the wrong side, oh, well, you can play options but I will not short them ... Like the retailers, if they can make 75% profit during the Christmas shopping season, I can wait until that truly low risk opportunity to arrive and make the bulk of my gains ... One or two opporunities (for each stock each year) is all I need ...

Sell a bit. Take some small percentage of the profits and buy a little luxury you've been wanting for awhile. See? That feels nice! Save some to sell for next week... and start thinking about what you'll buy to reward yourself... In a few months, maybe you'll be able to buy back the stock and say: dang, I'm enjoying that free stereo! You should be able to get a good one. Save some stock to sell for Dow > 10,000, though, but remember... everyone's hanging on for the push to 10K! Who'll jump off first? I just went from roughly market neutral to somewhat net short yesterday via BEARX...what timing! my longs are pretty happy today, tho! Cheers, HB
