The beauty Mama Bear is that I am "long" on RRRR... Just an opinion, not a beauty. Maybe the beauty of it was to own it from $3 on, and have cashed in at $19... recently. Why anyone shorts stocks is beyond me. Sounds like a miserable way to go through life. Don't insult Mama Bear... Maybe it is beyond you, but it reduces market risk and is also an interesting way to earn some money. For a couple of interesting stocks, see: quote.yahoo.com IS.

"Why anyone shorts stocks is beyond me. Sounds like a miserable way to go through life." Well, as a matter of fact I am quite a miserable person. Sometimes I set my alarm for 5 am so I can be up to curse the paper guy when he delivers. I went to the animal shelter, and adopted a dog just to be able to kick it. I order pizza, and when it gets here, insist that they got my order wrong, make them remake it and send it back. Then I insist they got it wrong, and tell them the first pizza was actually right, then make them redeliver. Then I give the driver a tip of 10 or 20 cents. I go to the library and tear out the last chapter of murder mysteries. At Christmas time I go to the mall and tell small children that there is no Santa Claus. Sometimes I stand outside of AA meetings and hand out gift certificates for a local bar when I'm bored. Yes, and all of this because I sell, rather than buy to open in my portfolio. Oh well. Barb
