Short on Advice… I started doing a hypothetical portfolio on short trades using the short trades that most everyone recommended on this blog starting 8/31/06. I shorted 100 shares of the following stocks with the begin price and the present profit as of today 9/13:

Stock   Paid   Current   $Gain   %Gain
CTX   49.01   51.76   -275.00   -5.61%
FED   50.00   53.24   -324.00   -6.48
HD   34.17   37.17   -300.00   -8.78
LEND   31.94   35.49   -355.00   -11.11
LOW   26.37   28.96   -259.00   -9.82
PHM   29.95   31.11   -186.00   -6.36
WM   42.40   42.26   14.00    0.33

So if I were to have taken all the "Short" advice given to me on this website starting on 8/31, I would have invested -$27,999.00 and lost $1,685.00 (on margin so add another 9%).
