So what? Who cares? He could be the King of Sweden for all I care. It's not his fault you lost money. It's your fault. You lost money, and that's not good. I'm not trying to beat you up about it. All I am saying is you can't take responsibility for your winners if you can't take responsibility for your losers, too. The fact is that if you can't take responsibility for your screwups, you will continue to screw up, and you will lose more money. You lost money because you screwed up. The chart on that stock was easy to read, you just couldn't read it. With all due respect to you, it would be wise for you to take some time and learn a bit more about how the stock market works. Market makers, fund managers, and day traders all short stocks every day. I shorted a stock today. Does that mean I'm doing something illegal? I'm doing something wrong because I shorted a stock? Nope. If you were on the other side of my short play today, then all it means is I can read a chart better than you and I took your money. Nothing personal. Business.
