Paul,

>>It seems that if the criteria are any good at all (buy low and
profitably sell high), we ought to certainly be able to reverse it (sell
high, buy low). I rise up at that point -g- and say, WRONG! Short
selling is a totally different animal.<<

I agree. Overvaluation can resolve itself by the stock moving up more slowly over time than the gain in intrinsic value until fair value is again reached. This would cause losses for a short seller.
