Not answering for Joan, but I was studying the Weinstein book in Barnes and Noble on Sunday, and found his directions too complicated for me to be comfortable with. I guess one essential is to put in stop-loss cover buys not too far above your purchase price.

As I have mentioned on this thread, the only uncovered shorting I've done is the index depository receipt for the S&P, symbol SPY. There you don't get the huge profits of a smart short, but also a lot less risk.

I really do think that for shorting you can't beat the Prudent Bear Fund, BEARX, where you get a diversified portfolio of shorted stocks that the manager, Tice, has tried to select as especially vulnerable. There your risk is spread over 80-100 different stocks. The fund has done really well on every dip.
