From what I learned from my short experience in shorting I have mostly been right about my thesis for the short, but very wrong with timing. From my bad experience of shorting Netflix at 240 I learned that you have to expect a clear event that would unleash the crush in price.

Do not short the leader of an industry. People can be extremely optimistic and generous. The only shorts I have had success in are the ones I have followed James Chanos.
I don't understand why you would go short at this moment when there are so many companies with low valuations which have a lot higher probability to double and triple. I can understand shorting only if you cannot find bargains.
