Fuddle,

You obviously a very experienced and sophisticated investor. Shorting a stock need nerves of steel. I suppose you have these qualities, and I admire you for that. On occasions, I have thought of shorting stocks, but really never had the guts to do it. Also, I do not have the time to keep a close watch over the shorted stock.

And yes, you can generally make a handsome profit shorting a stock that has risen some 20,000% in a span of a couple of months. But you do have to understand the dynamics as to why NHC has gone up. As for myself, I do believe in the long term, and hence am a holder. As I have said b4, nothing goes up in a straight line.

Good luck to yourself.

Regards, Lalit Jain
