OT--You can just enter a stop order. Not a good idea if the stock is illiquid, but yes, they do require closer monitoring. I also like shorts because they force you to be a little more diligent in your analysis. It's one thing to look at a stock and say you are going to avoid it because it looks a little rich. It is another to do the work to support a conclusion that it is overvalued, and to identify the catalyst that could cause it to correct. Yes, I know people have lost money on shorts of fundamentally overvalued that went up even more. I still like them anyway.
