<DIV>Harley,<BR><BR>Suggest you take a look at the IRS "wash sales"
rule before the end of the<BR>year. You may have a rude tax "surprise"
waiting for you by trading in and<BR>out of the same stock that you've incurred
a loss in.<BR><BR>As an aside, shorting individual stocks during a bull market
is a high<BR>risk/low reward game for the small investor. Especially a NASDAQ
stock<BR>because you never know what games the market makers are playing. Like
you've<BR>noticed, when a stock starts to fall it's almost impossible to jump on
the<BR>downtrend because of the uptick rule. If the stock is optionable,
it's<BR>smarter to buy the nearmonth PUT, though the volatility part of the
premium<BR>usually explodes in a fast downdraft.<BR><BR>FYI, when the market in
general goes thru these period corrections you are<BR>much better off selling
S&P Spiders (SPY) to play the downside. Check them<BR>out on the AMEX. In
fact, outside of a few S&P 100 stocks, I trade Spiders<BR>almost
exclusively.<BR><BR>Just my opinion,<BR>Rick
