Re:"I am quite new to investing in US stocks and have never shorted nor will I do so.
I have noticed (usually after the event) that when a stock gaps up it seems to continue rising for several hours. By the time I "twig on" it is too late. "

Howard, I would not short "right" after a gap I would and do watch them for two to three days...it is usually about three days after a run that the stock will tend to get weak...I have made and lost on shorts..I am and not afraid to say I am one of the poor folks that got my head handed to me with KTEL......shorting IS NOT for the faint at heart.

I like your thread..
