Shorting is more difficult. The S&P has gone up an average of 10% a year. A monkey going long by throwing darts at a board can gain 10% a year; A monkey going short by throwing darts at a board can lost 10% a year. You can long a company without any compelling positive information and still do fine. You cannot short a company without any compelling negative information and, as I have learned, without some reliable reason to believe that this negative information will be reflected in the stock price soon. However, the ability to short effectively is an important skill in the arsenal of a complete trader.
