Volunteer, >>For those of us who have not read Weinstein's book, will you please give a few examples of low risk methods of shorting stocks?

First of all I recommend you get his book. I have seen it in paper back. Here is a short list of some of his don'ts, but there is more to this:

Don't sell sort because the P/E is too high,
Don't sell short because the stock has run up too much,
Don't sell short a sucker stock that everyone else agrees must crash,
Don't sell short a stock that trades thinly,
Don't sell short a Stage 2 stock,
Don't sell short a stock in a strong group,
Don't sell short without protecting yourself with a buy-stop order.

You need to understand his "stage 1, 2, 3, 4" definitions. Well worth the investment IMO.

Joan
