. . . . On Shorting a Bear Market Trend. . . . Actually, we probably should be short the broader high-tech market, since I am not bullish the high-techs and internet and won't be until I feel they have bottomed out for the summer months. Only thing is [Star Wars Theme music please], I still have trouble going to the "dark side of the market" . . .I heard you are required to wear black and carry a handgun, when you play the short side. . . is that true? I guess we could go in and short some of the lesser known High-techs for a while. . .especially after some of the leading high-tech indicators signal clear direction [most already have]. . Also, going long these tiny stocks has been so good to us recently, it is almost not worth changing strategies yet. . .tho I know it won't continue forever. Looking for some wisdom from the thread in this area. . .thanks. Rande Is
