No problem investorman, we're on the same page regarding shorts. My post was confusing. The point that I was trying to make in my original post was that you can't be "forced" to cover on the way down. I guess I just misunderstood your post as well. And I agree with you on the difficulty of trying to call a top or bottom in SP. In most cases I try to have my exit strategy in place before I even buy or short a stock. But even so, sometimes it's hard to keep emotions such as greed and fear out of the equation once I've taken a position. It's difficult to trade like a robot, but in my opinion it’s the most profitable way.
