  1. Apart, sorry for my bad English. Sometimes I just write what comes out of my mind. Hope, some can understand this BS.

  2. You're doing much better with English than I would do in your native language.

    weren't you the person who were shorting ebay couple of months ago, saying that your offer is at 99 or something? I could be mistaken, because I haven't checked the threads.

  5. Yes, right. One time I was short Ebay @ about $84 and covered about the same price due to a gap down. Apart, this was a pair trade in combination with the qqqs.
    The second time I was selling successfully a naked call, which expired worthless.

    Please check the postings. If someone is short a stock that goes to the sky it doesn't mean that he has to loose money. If you are good, you come out of a position without a loss or a small one, even when you are deadly wrong.

    You can also check all the other postings.
