Tim ...curious. Why is it worth it for a site that "shorts" stocks and not for a site that "longs" their picks. Not trying for a fight here, but don't see the difference. Personally, since the "guru" makes money off the picks by buying (or shorting) first and then announcing the calls, they make a lot of money in that way when their readers follow suit. So I feel it's a shame there is a need to make it both ways. But that is up to the subscriber - their choice and no one is forcing them.
