Why slam the shorts? If it wasn't for their selling you'd be paying a hundred dollars a share one day to see it worth 5 the next when smart money decides to take profits. Likewise, imprudent shorts are partly responsible for rapid price increases that give you the fantastic appreciation. Their buying also cushions declines so you can get out at a reasonable price; in general, shorts are a lot more realistic than longs and not nearly as greedy IMHO.
