"Short sellers are odd people," wrote Kathryn Staley, herself a short, in her book, The Art of Short Selling. "Most of them are ambitious, anti-social, and single-minded . . . they are likely to have a wry, slightly twisted sense of humor . . . they like to win against big odds. Typically, they have an ax to grind, a chip on the shoulder . . . they are all smarter . . . and more independent than most people . . . . They normally are secretive and slightly paranoid. " They can also become frustrated and manipulative when a clearly overvalued stock refuses to decline, Major said. "They forget about being dispassionate and start to plant negative stories, or get on conference calls and ask negative questions." The above is a paragraph I copy from the "Short Circuit" article?...Too close for comfort. I swear that I know someone who fit that description on this board. May the real "short circuit", please step forward. DaiTN

Dave.. Have to interject.. lol It's all speculation eh? What I don't get is the general attitude that longs are different than shorts.. Kind of like Ron going on a rampage about how worthless and stupid "Democrats" are. How other people invest, in general, is their business. Besides, it's once again all about opinions and deep core beliefs. Ask Warren Buffet what he thinks of people who buy penny stocks.. lol.. I'm sure he does not envy them. I think the jackazz is he who points the finger.
