Genesis Posts: 130662 Incept: 2007-06-26	If you count the leverage on my PUTs, something like 100,000 shares! ---------- I don't care* if it makes sense -- only if it makes money. -- Me* Bank (n): See scam, fraud and theft. *Eat a bankster -- they're low-carb.* *What part of "shall not be infringed" was unclear?* 2007-07-31 13:36:47 Permalink
Pd Posts: 2375 Incept: 2007-07-24	I'm short BZH, DHI, KBH, AHM, DSL and CTX. I've got some SRS and SKF too. Additionally, I've got a bunch of puts on BZH, CFC, KBH, HOV, CTX and NFI. I went to (almost) 0 on a NEW short, I might hit it again on AHM and I'm hoping for a trifecta (BZH?). I'm about 80% short and 20% in puts. I'm well in the black on just about everything and and have more ammo so I won't get caught in a short squeeze. 2007-07-31 13:49:44 Permalink

Guydaley Posts: 15320 Incept: 2007-07-10 Wyoming only ATM Banned	Over the weekend I'm still short 2500 shares but I covered a LOT going into Fridays close (Aug 2). Before Fridays close had another 4900. TD Waterhouse is going to make a ton of money on me because I fully intend to take money off regularly. SCREW the home runs, I'd rather have consistent, regular singles and doubles than a strike out. (Although I'm holding several HBs for just that occasion). I renegotiated my trade cost from $10 down to $7 so that doesn't sting so bad. ---------- Its called creeping TEOTWAWKI. Just because it doesn't happen all at once doesn't mean it isn't happening. 2007-08-05 09:36:59 Permalink
