Paul, I agree. I am really talking about the hedge funds not necessarily individual short sellers. And i dont get good vibes from bushies either. I just dont fathom how a short seller deals with the consequences of their being short. Perhaps i am being naive in this. I think of my kids and betting against USA future somehow bothers me. Maybe its the delight some shorts take in it or perhaps my own jealousy after having been long so long or a combo of all those emotions. mike
