Seems most people misunderstood my response to shorting. I read the blog posted by Agoracom. Thought it made a lotta sense and just mentioned to all on the board that it was a blog worth reading. I thot the Blog was self explanatory which is why I didnt make any comment on it. Can now see that my comment was taken as if I agreed that naked shorting was a good idea. My self i see no problem with legal shorting e ven though it is far too risky for me to even attempt. For starters I dont have the kinda capital it takes to legally short a stock. I have legally shorted stock couple of times and both times hustled to buy it back before I got buried. I just dont like the idea that regulators change the rules in the middle of a game. As the blog stated there are rules to cover naked shorting it is just up to the regulators to enforce those rules. Anyway the blog is definitely worth a read as it explains it much better than I can. Hope this clears up any misunderstanding
