Personally, I'd never short anything for 3 points of downside that can and has gone up 50% in a week.

The week aint over yet. ;-)
And let me add that each time it has gone up 50%, it has dropped the same amount by almost a factor of 2. Money in the bank.

Anyway thats the best kind of short.
The recipe for success:

1)Find a weak stock stuck in a downtrend (ZRAN)
2)Wait for some hype news (ZRAN+INTC, ZRAN+MSFT, MSFT retraction)
3)let it run at least 30% for two days on lemming-hype-buying.
4)Wait for a hesitation in price...preferably at previous resistance. Let the stock churn there for a spell and pull back, and short at resistance on next run after an early shake-out of the smart-money-long-traders.
5)Set smart stops....always set stops....and be on top of it all the time...especially the first few days after it peaks.
6)Hold for a short period and rake in the bucks.
7)Put the bleeding dog-stock on your watch list for future news releases to catch ride up....and of course ride it back down.
