Craig; I hope you have small feet because you just stuck your foot in
your mouth.

That's not an effective argument. How is shorting more risky than going long? <<

Going long you can only loose the price of the stock per share.
A stock cannot go lower than zero. Going short, there is no limit to
how high a stock can go - therefore there is no limit to your
potential losses.

Maybe you and Mr. Pts. can start a beginners trading thread?

Happy Holidays!
