The $5K limit is the same amount as a Roth IRA and the small amount will keep things interesting. I'll consider adding short selling next quarter.

I can't escape the mental picture. theblaze.com is very clearly some sort of information anus yet some posters seem eager to attach their lips and deliver the product here.

lol. short sellers can come in a week before the game is over and just short a stock like NFLX, GRPN, FB, and take the lead.

Individual stocks? Of course not, but there's one for every commodity I can think of, every type of bond out there at varying maturities, every asset class under the sun, etc. The list is endless. Point is we're not limited to only long equity positions because selling short isn't part of the game this time around.
