>>Any advice for someone who wants to start shorting, but always comes up tentative?<<

My advice would be just try it and see how you feel... short a few $ worth and you might be surprised how it feels. Suddenly you are not worried that the stock won't go up - and all of the concerns you had when long become reasons you expect it to go down.

I have relatively recently started shorting more than just the odd stock and I can tell you it feels a lot more comfortable in this overblown market. I would also recommend that you set limits to cover if the short goes against you and do *not* ignore them.

There are many more overpriced than underpriced stocks out there.
IMO this is one of the worst and I think I have explained why.

Oh, and since you asked, "you're a weenie".
