By all means please post your trades....I never short stocks (much easier to go long) but if you are shorting it, and I am long, I am gonna get out...fast. Someday maybe you could teach us longs how shorting works...I tried it once just for the heck of it (100 shares of a cheap, boring stock to be safe). My broker (schwab) let me enter the short on the web, but 20-30 minutes later I get a call from them that says "sorry, nothing available". I don't understand how I am going to short stocks in a fast moving market if I don't know wether or not there will be shares available for me...when I go long, I can sell 5 minutes later if I need to...if I go short, it seems like I am locked out of any short-term price action...comments? (Yea, I know you didn't ask but what the heck...)
