Thanks for the explanation, Hraka, then I probably guessed wrong about him covering, have no idea what anyone's position is but my own. :-))

Hraka, the difference is I respect a post like yours that is thought out and has some reasoning and tangible thought to it. The reason people are hostile to Anthony and his flukie Floydie is they just come on the thread and shout negatives, post about previous track records and how this is just like USAT or BRE-X... You havent done it, you made your positions known and that is respected... we are all here to make money and better our financial positions... just no need to do it at the expense of others. Personally I wouldnt start my first short until Tuesday's gap up after all the news is absorbed, but we all have different risk levels! Good luck with your short & thanks for being level headed! Mark

Hraka, Inevitability could take some time, in my opinion. Prov

Hi HRAKA .. we are on opposite sides of this, but that's OK. You're right, Anthony usually says things like "put 25% or 50% of your money in now." What concerns me, though it appears that I have a shorting advantage because I live in Canada, is the number of people on his thread that say they can't find the stock to short. So what if you can't "average up" because you can't (a)find the stock or (b)find enough stock? Obviously that never happens when you average down. I'm sure that Anthony and some of the more sophisticated shorters always seem to be able to "find" stock, but what about the average peon?

My speculation... it has come to my attention speculation, that is as frustrating as it is silent, as undiscovered as it is widespread...will soon become reality. This speculation has its roots in the news releases by Perfumania but is not as apparent as it may seem. The speculation I am speaking about is none other that the partnership between Perfumania and Amazon. Unlike Yahoo, which already uses Fragrancecounter to sell perfumes, Amazon does not have a partner to sell perfumes for Valentine's Day. My gut tells me that this will soon change. Amazon has already announced that it will broaden its selection to customers and will go beyond books (so far, Amazon has expanded its gift selection to flowers and even chocolate for Valentine's Day... not to mention videos). But no perfumes! Perfumania, as the largest discounter of fragrances, and therefore PRFM is the ideal partner. The partnership will likely go beyond Valentine's Day, for every holiday is when both Perfumania and Amazon thrive. This is just my speculation and who knows I can be dead wrong but I have a feeling that I'm on the money!!!!!!
