Exactly right, Tidbits - as a group, shorts are way more cagey than longs. Longs play half with the mind and half with the heart. Shorts are cold - no heart involved - better way to play (not short, but without emotion, but it's such a big part of the overall experience of being in the market).

That's why I posted earlier about short squeezes - pretty much a long's mirage!

Okay, seems as though a long, long chapter has just closed; it's been quite an experience, and I look for more with AUMN.
