Absolutely not so.
1. I've already pointed out that these (Justina's and mine) proposals are exactly the same.
2. There is no objection in principle to using the functional form exp(a + bx) with x sometimes negative. You can see this for yourself in Stata, e.g. by
. twoway function exp(1 + 2*x) , ra(-2 2) || function exp(1 - 2*x), ra(2 -2)
Whether it is a good choice for your data is a different question.
I suggest a crash (revision) course in exponential and logarithmic functions!

hi Justian, the point is, that some of my x var's are negative, so ln would not work. nick cox suggest to consider transforming the y var's only...
