Hi Howard,

As you may know, you can create a synthetic position with options.  To
create a synthetic short position, the opposite of your long position, you
BUY a put and Sell a call.  If you buy the put and sell the call at the same
strike price, you will have the equivalent of a short future position to
offset your long future position.  You may lock in a small loss but it will
be better than days of  lock limit down.  Call your broker, hopeful he will
be able to suggest to best options to hedge your longs.

Other suggestions, anyone?

                                    Good luck and god trading,

                                                Ray Raffurty

P.S.  For your owe protection, please learn option strategies before you
continue trading.
