>I never take a long position in any stock i mention here on SI, ha ha just kidding,
Vic, most of us only report buys...its only human nature.
Buying reflects confidence, selling can reflect negativism.
That's why longs tend to dislike short-sellers.
>if i did short my own picks I'd be very rich
Nothing wrong with shorting stocks you also own. Hedge fund managers do it all the time.
Have ever heard of shorting against the box? I did that with AMZN most of 1999.
