LOL - Love the points you make in your post but I read it or my take on it is FORGET THE SHORTS , they now are facing problems of their own making. So to me its more like WHAT ARE WE LONGS going to do?
HOLD onto what we got. That's obvious
ADD and average up
SELL some to take out any market risk and hold FREE ON BOARD SHARES
No matter which you chose , its nice to be in this position
