Mad Dog--I hit a lot of those sites. That's how I found the savoystocks.com short discussion. So far none of the web based short selling sites I have found go into the kind of detail (buy stops for example) that Weinstein's book offers. In fact most of the sites I reviewed didn't bother to mention there even was such risk management tool. Without this kind of detail and cautionary advice a first time shorter could easily get slaughtered if some pos stock moves to the upside unexpectedly (think .coms) If you go through any of those and find a detailed discussion please post.
