Max - >>I am beginning to look for,how ever belatedly,for something to short<< I often think about shorting AMZN, but never do. CUST would have been a good short when I mentioned it the other night, but scarry, these things can turn fast. I know you play options. If you think the bottom might fall out on BVSN, consider this: Sell the stock short at 46 1/2. Buy a June 45 Call at 4. If the stock falls more than 4 points you make money on the downside. If you re correct and it tanks you win. If it rallies, you are protected. Maximum loss is 2 1/2. And if you are mostly long elsewhere and the entire market rallies that 2 1/2 will hardly hurt at all. Just a thought. StockHawk
