Last point: I don't think of owning puts is being short.

Right, I know. I was just pointing out where the confusion was coming from.

One advantage of buying puts it they are easier to get into then waiting for a damn uptick on thinly traded stocks. In fact that would have been a good way to go after reading your post on the recent ENML financing instead of trying to chase the darn thing down (never did get shares to short anyway).

Do you know if that is the same Michael Burke that gets quoted in some investment letters?
