Hello friend, I never met a fellow who found so much enjoyment in his shorts. They must be special. During todays run up, I hope you were able to protect yourself and avoid a painful squeeze. Just in case, may I recommend a good athletic store? No kidding aside, you should realize that it is much more dangerous for non day trading investors to short a stock. Let's face it, if you can't be there to watch it, a short has infinite loss potential and stocks go up more than they go down. (10-12% a year for the last umteen years). Now 1 Day, since it is obvious to me that you are an insightful investor, I wish you had told me the stock would swing 28 points and end up at 16 1/2. I would have bought more to get the price up higher for your short. Let's have a little cooperation here. JFH
