    Big down day today. My bet is that it will be an up day tomorrow. I was turned on to a couple of shorts that are working out well, as well as MSFT that is a power stock and is holding up when SPY falls. I have to say, so far it has been worth the $50/mo.

Everyday people and normal investors may finally win one over on ol wall street.... doubt it though, they'll still find some way to weasel out of it like always

    I guess that is why they're called shorts, if your not careful you can lose them. Congrats to the winners.
