I am impressed that so many of the trading examples in recent posts are slanted toward the long side. Granted long may be the way to go tomorrow, but I think too few traders look to go short.

funk,

I fully agree with you and I've been wondering how to go about doing short trading. I could pre-box shares to avoid the up-tick rule (long/short INTC, CSCO, etc.). But now there is some indication that that is disapproved by the SEC (though Fidelity still allows it).

How do you manage the short-term short trades? The problem that keeps coming up in my mind is that having to wait for an up-tick might also mean having to wait for a down channel to end.

Any help you can offer is appreciated!
