Romanticization of shorting!

I posted about this elsewhere but to officially record my annoyance I have to resubmit to this thread:


I'm not smart enough (or courageous enough) to short stocks

A survey of brokerage houses indicates the minimum qualifications for shorting are:
- IQ: that of ass
- courage: that of chicken
and still there are folks who don't qualify!!
