I think I'm going to compile a list of things that short sellers have to do in order to get credit for a good call.

1. A short seller may not post his call anywhere or speak about it in public.

2. The stock must fall in a rising market. Any profitable short in a declining market is discounted.

3. The stock must never recover, even years after a short sale is covered.

4. The security may not rise in price after the short sale call. A degree of success is discounted for every tick beneath the top which the sale is initiated.

Those are the first four. I think there should be more flapdoodle rules that longs have to discount profitable shorts as good calls. I will expand this list as other worthy twaddle is brought to my attention.

Regards,

Barb
