No it doesn't, it simply is another tool that one should use, just like going long. You can use a combination of news and price action, along with your excellent understanding of economic trends to put on shorts just as you do long positions. They can be particularly profitable if you are nimble with 'fad' stocks like CROX, which once broken often stay that way. 11 to 76 in a couple of months based on sales of stupid looking shoes??? Perhaps it will be back to 11 in the near future...

Regards,
John

PS - Hey Lizzie, isn't CROX one you like <ggg>. Sorry, I couldn't resist...
