T, I read "The Art of Short Selling" by Kathryn Staley. In the book, she speaks about using patience when shorting. When you find a company with poor underlying fundamentals, it takes time for the general public to catch up with those poor fundamentals. It was suggested that shorting portions and adding when the stock rallies, is the way that most successful shorts succeed. Sort of buying the dips in reverse.

The key is; poor fundamentals. It's no different than buying a stock long and using patience and good entry points. The principles are the same, you're just thinking in reverse. Instead of buying as the Stochastics are rising above 20, you're selling when the Stochastics are falling below 80.

Good luck!
