This is my ongoing list of rules that must be complied with in order for a short seller to be given credit for a good call by message board longs:

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. If the stock rises, the short call is not a good call, even if the company subsequently goes bankrupt. A degree of success is discounted for every tick beneath the top which the sale is initiated.

5. A short who is sued by the company he has called is immediately and forever wrong about that short call, regardless of the subsequent fate of the company. After all, filing a lawsuit proves the call was 'bashing for profits sake'.

6. A short may never admit to having made a profit on a short sale. This is akin to rubbing it in, and shows that the short seller enjoys others losses.

7. A short call on a stock other than the high flyers such as YHOO, AMZN, JDSU, QCOM, etc is invalid.

Those are the first seven. 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
