Dave, I think that we ar in agreement. The issue is emphasis. For me personally, it makes no difference if I go short and long, as long as it is the appropriate trade given the market, the stock, etc. I slightly prefer long because of easier entry. While I generally believe that it is better to have a balanced long/short TRADING strategy, I strongly believe in a balanced long/short ANALYSIS strategy. This is the point that I am emphasizing. It is extremely important to ensure that we don't "see" a good long trade that is actually a much better short trade, simply because we focus solely on long trades. I believe that a balanced TRADING strategy will make better money for you, but a balanced ANALYSIS strategy will keep you from loosing a lot more money. Regards, Dan.
