great article...Asensio is good btw. a short seller's job is usually much more difficult that that of other market participants...for one thing, the potential for losses is theoretically unlimited (since the downside is limited by zero, but the upside isn't limited by anything), and then there are the various difficulties like e.g. the 'uptick' rule. as a result, the research of professional short sellers is often of very high quality...contrary to what usually emanates from WS 'analysts'.
