Keith, There is little I could add to Sun Tzu's reply to your post. I agree with comments like: "There is no such thing as a long term short." No one would disagree that over time the average stock moves higher. A dark side player looks at a shortened time horizon in order to remove that factor. IMO, trading short is not for everyone. It doesn't offer you the luxury of being able to forget about your investment for awhile. You must stay on your toes. (For the record, the vast majority of my holdings are made up of conservative long term investments. My short plays are for fun and profit, with an emphasis on fun. Of course it wouldn't be much fun if you couldn't turn a profit!) AdvocateDevil
