Louis Cornell: but when you short, there is a 50% margin requirement, so you don't put up the full $20K for the 2K shares in your example (see below). Rather you put up $10K for the 2K shares,

Surely you realize the argument is the same for those that margin going long. So, you garner no points with your above analysis.

Because stocks fall much faster than they rise.

This is often no longer true in this mania.
