Umm yeah Serge, back in the late 90's in SF, I traded options on a desk at Robertson Stephens, managed private client accounts, and did VC work for H&Q, Weisel and Montgomery Securities...so i guess a little.
Initially, when i posted, i was joking cause i think "going long" is a pretty relative term; traditional buy-and-hold strategys are often out-dated and dangerous in many verticals. Seems to me that Political and Economic conditions are a little too unstable to be anywhere for very long.  - thanks for asking.

PP,
i started in investment banking in 1985. I held a series 7, 24, 27, 3, 63. Before WTS I co-owned a NASD broker dealer and a commodities firm.
I never let politics or fundamentals get in the way of my decision making. I am totally technical and my work has been published in Futures magazine.
Going long or going short is NOT a relative term, especially when one is long 20 S&P e-minis. Those are futures in case you do not know.
Put that into your calculator and tell us another joke.
