Re: Hedging against a recession.

I agree about naked shorts, although technically it is not illegal, to me it is unethical. I don't get that deep, just buy and sell. I believe if I was in it for the MONEY, I would have no hair on my head be the proud father of a couple of ulcers and be self medicating myself to sleep at night. I am not in it for the money, well,....... I guess I can't say that! Small gains are fine by me, as long as I am beating bonds and mutuals I am fine. Yes, "cashed" out, except I wouldn't exactly call it cash, "pennies" is more apropo. I am out for now, no guts! Don't want to lose what I have set aside for kids and wife in case I bite the Big One, know what I mean, Vern?

To make matters worse, the "little woman" is a mobile loan closer and with the sub prime catastrophy this household has been shaken at the foundations and is still settling, waitin' for the dust to clear!
