Bernard - you should know what this means + free lesson in grammar BRKA<--------Short 75% @72,600 This refers to a short sale of 75% of the total I intend to sell short. In this case it's 75% at $72,600 - not 100% - hence I considered the stock would move higher before it headed south. The remaining 25% of my position would be a short sale at a level higher than $72,600 - for example any time today. I would then begin to cover in several steps below $65,000 as the stock heads south (again). Does it have to do with the solar ellipse? Solar ellipse? What's that, is 'eclipse' the word you're looking for here? An ellipse is a geometric shape - a regular oval. "…multiple ellipis realy ellipsi" Two l's in "really". Dear oh dear. The words "ellipis" and "ellipsi" don't exist. I can see that I'll have to put you out of your misery. An "ellipsis" (or "ellipse") is a grammatical symbol that is used to indicate an omission - it's a series of three dots "…" Your post to me had six dots - two ellipses or a double ellipsis. I was offering some dry humour that I considered you would understand. Given the sympathy that I now feel I should spell this out for you. My BRKA short post was just little 'ol me thinking out loud - a "what if" type of thing. Please refer further comments you may have to my attorney. You'll find him listed in my SI profile - Mr D'Lo Brown Esq. He's a no nonsense type of guy - that's why I retain him. Perhaps you have crossed his path in your travels? That is all, David :)
