<<Any advise would be appreciated as to what am I doing wrong. How is everyone else making a killing? I know I'm still learning, but I like to think I'm a little smarter than the average bear (no offense to Ms. Bear and Mr. Bear), so what am I doing wrong?>>

The following is just some suggestions. Some may work for and some may not.

a) Spread your short funds around between several plays. Several posters have suggested no more than 5% in any one play.

b) One quote I've heard from Moma Bear: The 20-40-100% rule
20% profit in a day--take it
40% profit in a week --take it
100% profit in any time frame take it.

c) Short Anthony's picks. I won't say short only these -- but I sure come close. As a rule he's very conservative and has an extremely high batting average.

d) Study and recognize patterns. For instance, IPO spin-off of internut related divisions. Look at the patterns of the parent stock. DBCC DLIA (Future one is NAVR)

c) Watch and set stop limits and get out.

d) Know the story behind the short recommendation. If I don't, I usually don't get in.

e) Try to keep a reasonable reserve for short squeezes

f) There are dozen's more that I haven't heard of and thus can't quote them. Keep looking, reading and trying and learn from your mistakes.

f) I can't wait for A @ P's new site. Our batting average will go up.

g) And I have had a run of bad luck. However, I now am up for the month and my one short DLIA will probably do well.
