I think they've made their second mistake

Short selling stocks leaves lots of traces. If they did so, they left a hint that can be tracked down.

I hope they did.

Cheers,

I had and have absolutely nothing to do with those people!  ... but I'll be darned if I will let a opportunity to make money this easily slip by ... and that's the truth.  If you lost, the one to blame is the one you shave each morning.
 On the up side ... are you not relieved that all those spending bills based on "future revenues" got trashed by those unfeeling, uncaring and ultra conservative republicans?   ;) ...  Just asking.

So MrBill you are saying publicly you shorted the airline stocks? Helped push the layoffs of 10's of thousands in the industry??

Or did I misread your post...

Sorry I do not own airline stocks (not enough margin)
I never wish to see people laid off, or out of work, if it sounded like that to anyone, I apologize profoundly.
But it was easy to see that everyone was going to take a hit.
Most of my stock is in high risk, high profit, offshore issues.  Come next Wed or so I'll be buying like mad on the stuff that will likely rebound quickly.  This will include "utility bonds" if they go on sale.  There will not be a lot of profit in them but they will be good for the overall economy.
The stock markets, in general, are not good for people who run for cover at the first sign of trouble. (they ALWAYS loose while the "big boys" rake in the gravy). If one does not have the nerve to to ride the whirlwind one should stay in mutual funds and the like.  I can almost guarantee that NONE of the real players lost a dime, and you can take that to the bank!  ;) pun intended.

Lest we forget ... hehehe!

Dow up 173.19

NASDAQ up 88.48

But most important NAPM up 4.7 for the month.

Don't try this at home kids.

Tomorrow? What to do? what to do?
