larry I have a couple of small short positions in consumer discretionary stocks, and they are running wild. Thankfully they are small positions.

SI - Yeah, it's especially true on heavily shorted stocks. When the shorts have to cover, the thing can run wild for a few days. Even if the thing eventually goes to zero, it may have caused you five heart attacks in the process. I respect the people who can do it, but it's a very tough game.
