Steve, the best (i.e. safest) entry point for most short positions is when the stock is peaking on very heavy volume - when there is a frenzy of buying by the lemmings, you want to be the one selling it to them. While low-volume stocks can be easily manipulated (and thus are riskier), this rule applies to both broadly and thinly traded stocks. Look at the peak days, hours, even minutes on any stock chart after a strong runup in the price, and you will almost always see a volume crescendo. Waiting for that point to start a short position might cause you to miss a few good shorts, but will make you more money in the long run. Regards, Fund
