I am not into shorting any of these, but if I were, I think I could do better than FCS. The only shorting I am doing is QQQ. I don't really approve of what I am doing there, which is a pretty seat of the pants thing. Sometimes the seat of the pants gets a kick from the Fed, but I have even managed to profit from last week's jump. Not much, but it builds the equity in my cash account. Riding out a very large short position in the technology index last year was just too much of a close call. I still can't believe that the index really did what it did. By the time it got to the top I was so squeezed for equity that I was unable to add to the position, but I did hold an ultimately showed a profit. Sky-diving is probably somewhat more predictable.
