I would not underestimate the Shorts at all. They do their homework well and are far smarter than they get credit for and better analysts than the people who write the reports.

I disagree. Shorts are no better than longs in doing their homework. Yes, there are some very capable short sellers, but the majority are just the follow the crowd momentum types that populate the long side as well. It's actually very difficult to make money shorting stocks because the market trends upward over time. Don't be afraid of short sellers, if you've done your research. Understand the opposing side, but don't think they know anything you don't because they don't.
