To Mike: Hey. Don't be too modest here. A short sale in the face of the options expiration time is tough tough tough. Actually as you know I am a Fool fan, but the one area where I totally disagree with the Fool is fooling with short sales. If you are long the overall growth in the economy and the fundamentals of the company (if you choose well) are on your side. Short, you a playing against the trends IMO. Never, never do it. But that is just based on long experience and complete inability to time the market ever. Be of good cheer. 29% is a blip, no? Chaz too

>>That explains why I lost 29% on my short sale? :)

No big deal, Mike, I hit a trifecta this month. I wiped out on dell and microsoft calls and a very ill conceived hp put. It'll be the quad if aol doesn't jump 5 points tomorrow.

I'm giving up options. Well, to be honest, Aunt Nancy is making me give up options.
