docbird,
I did the same: shorted too early. But managed to creep away with
a small profit on TWOD, and WMPY. Instead, I focused on Commercial
property (LAND) and Banks (mainly BARC), where I have done well.
But I think the real downturn in these over-owned Housebuilders may
be about to start. Fund managers are talking them up now so that
they can unload IMO

Yup energyi, you shorted just a tad too soon....about 5 years?
