Shorting is much riskier in stocks and markets which are heavily manipulated... like the Nasdaq for example. The risks are greatly reduced if you're dealing with a completely electronic trading system (one without market makers) and stick to shorting the more established stocks i.e. above $30.

I agree...for the inexperienced investor, that acts like a deer in headlights, shorting is far more risky than going long. I was talking in context of the experienced trades with hard core stop loss and money management rules. In that case it really doesn't make a big difference.
