You make it sound like to short a company there has be something wrong or bad about it. Jim, I do not believe there is anything bad or worng about it. I just do not like the risk/reward. A short squeeze is not like an earthquake. If you do your DD 95% of the time you can see one coming. That I learned from Amazon back in 98, when I didn't know what a short squeeze was. I assume you didn't either? I did not know about a short squeeze or how far it could take a stock. I now know but a short position would make me emotional about a position. Not a good thing in the market. Playing long or not at all in a bad market works for me. I can't follow the market regularly and my current goal is to go long companys and learn to exit before losses are too bad if it is a bad choice. Otherwise, stay the course. Glenn
