All shorts....I do not suggest looking at the chart for MZON. It may take a couple of years off your life. It will at least cause a change for undergarments. LOL Melinda

C.J. That wasn't really very nice. I don't know how to short. My understanding of shorting is that you're placing a bet that the stock is going to go down. What time frame? Down to what? How can anyone pick the time, date and amount. If you're wrong don't you have to pay the difference? I appreciate very much Yosemite Sam's help. I've been reading Silicon Investor now for about 2 1/2 weeks, wanted to join because I wanted to ask questions but didn't want to appear dumb. But--if you think I'm shorting, no wonder I'm not doing well. Since most seem to think PRFM is going to twenty something, I didn't think paying 13 7/8 was too much. Should have sold and bought back at 10 1/2 but I never seem to be able to get out when a stock starts going down. Got a lot of work to do on that. I'd like to ask you if you know a way to get out fast and how you know when to, but.......
