Good story, I don't buy it!, after the 250% run up. so i, asked the question, where's the money, wheres the contract.you know what happened.and to reveal the short. may of confused the issue, and wasted a lot of valuable posts on your day trade site,not to mention,peeing off a lot of threaders. which was not my intention. I was short ebay at the start of yesterday, covered at "exactly" the bottom, then went long for the bump up...got lucky caught the exact top, then shorted again to the low, covered, rolled my money into MSFT caught the blip up, went short, rode it down, covered at exactly the bottom, went long, sold for another handsome profit. Took all my money bought an island in the Carribean. I also purchased a huge "cannon" so I can lob shells into the back of Felderhof's(Bre-X) backyard during my off hours! Your story and mine have the same credibility! I am so tired of "shorts" or longs "who come out of the closet" after the fact. All in the name of "not creating an argument on an SI thread!! I enjoy advisarial positions on SI, longs have no problem stating there position at the onset. Its only the bashers, braggarts, liars and come latelies that have trouble stating theirs, (long or short)!! Think about that!! This is not directed to you, it is directed to all the people who don't declare their position. 99% are people who, after a stock drops, say they were short!! If you had declared your short position at the onset; a) i would respect you more for it b) be the first to congratulate you on being right c0 and me being wrong ya right and I was short EBAy honest!! the Chief
