Hi Terry; Thanx for the list, and maybe some one can use it, but I don't short individual stocks, and I'm getting away from playing them long. SPDRs and funds may not be as exciting but I've seen the light, and for what I play I can beat my stock picks buy playing a basket. I'm convinced most people can , but they don't look at it. I guess I will always play one or two stock picks, as I still like to bottom fish. But my runners ( no internuts just ten picks Monty ask me to put to geather..beat the hell out of the S&P ).. and were up 45% from Sept ( with out any nuts in them ).. Still the one small cap fund I picked was up 65% in the same time frame. But the one I thought wouldn't do good was up 85%, ------------------------- If people tracked funds them selves instead of looking at just the morning star they would see some action , and expose themselves to less risk. I feel the same way about shorting, I want a basket, to hell with begging for shares and all the wipe lash. On top of that the best shorts are seldom shortable, the brokers hoard what shares they can get. Your friendly Broker holds the best shorts for himself. Jim
