      I offered all of these stocks short, setting myself up to exceed mybuying power. I anticipated that, because these stocks were starting todowntick when I offered them short, I would be able to max out my capitaland then cancel the rest of the orders. The strategy worked surprisinglywell, and I was able to stay within my buying power. I stayed short untilthe Ticks and the futures changed direction, and then waited for twoupticks in a row in the stocks that I was short. When this happened, Ibought back the shares, waited for another uptick as confirmation of thereversal, and went long the issues that were lagging the average. I didthis all day long. By three o'clock, I had done about 15 trades. I hadlosing positions on two trades, and averaged 1/2 point profit on the rest.
