a suggestion: never short on fundamentals alone. ridiculous can get more ridiculous and even more ridiculous after that. short when a stock is overbought (RSI 90+), after reversal days (CMRC yesterday, day range $ 331, but closed at $ 250), or when the euphoria, the volume and the monentum die down. it's always very risky to hold shorts overnight, you never know what new B-to-B venture the company might announce. besides, there are seasonally good periods for shorting, and november, december and january are definitely NOT one of them. try may until october. and always, but always, keep STOPS
