Hi Dale; Well I've done taht more than once, but it's not as bad as losing the real cash. Looking at her I see where the specialist seemed to have shorted at 100 and maybe a few at 100-1/8, but I doubt any one got to go short at the top other than them. They generally see to it that you don't short at a higher price then they do, so there is some doubt in my mind that you would have got filled , maybe at 98-7/8 you could have got in. ---------------------- Well I'm still with USPIX , there we just get the closing price, ( & she is leveraged 2 to 1 ) I got in at 12.66 and need the NDX to lose about 60pts to get even, she closed today at 11.96 so I'm down 5.5% since Friday and not real happy about it, still hanging on but one more rally ( of the big caps ) and I'm out.
