<<<The trick is to identify a stock in a confirmed downtrend and then short the rallies as they reach resistance levels. Works like magic.>>>>

Have you tried this with any of the Internet stocks, and were you successful?

thanks, bodie

I don't believe in shorting stocks. The deck is stacked against the guy who shorts the stocks. Can you imagine the SEC telling the longs that they can buy stocks only on a downtick?! Of course not!

Also, during a mania, staying away from the crowd is a good enough idea. Swimming against them is not my cup of tea. All manias die out but one should be alive to witness them!<G>
