there are problems with shorting stocks, ie,

you need to have firm convictions/nerves of steel when the short is going against you,
you have to buy multiples of 100 shares,
your potential for loss is unlimited,
being caught in a short sqeeze is a terrible feeling
(suddenly losing 1000's of dollars, with no relief in sight)
your timing needs to be right.

in spite of this i do short stocks, so keep suggesting short sell stocks
best wishes
