never been many shorts around here. unless you consider the after the facts boys back in August. I don't really know why they are lacking here. About a year ago, I even tried to stir some interest by posting on a short thread after a big run up. Asking if anyone was considering a short play. Surely enough shares out there. No one replied to my post. Go figure. And as far as trading it, believe it or not, it was my second most traded stock last year. I will continue to trade it, but be warned, one day you will be faced with the delema of either ponying up at a higher price, or missing the rest of the ride. That's what happened to me with the likes of the search engines. One day, just boom. and I was too stubborn to cough up another buck per share to ride the best part of them. I won't sit here and try to tell everyone I have done perfectly here. I haven't. Sold $15 to Tom, only to buy them back at 17. Sold 19 to buy back at 21ish. sold 28 to buy back in the 29s, and a host of other missed by 1/4 to a point. Just because now I'm better at accepting the fact that I bailed too soon on a lot of stocks, and I'd be damned if I will miss this things mother load. If that was the case, I'd be many dollars poorer, and be off this thread since before christmas. Trading might make me miss out on a few points here and there, but I will say this, and it goes for any stock I trade. Whether it goes up or down the next morning, I sleep better with cash in my pocket.
