Top 10 (Letterman style) indicators to know if you’re a natural born short seller. 10. You have been diagnosed by a medical professional as being afflicted with “short sellers complex”. A common symptom is a belief that you’re always right. 9. The sight of too much green, even in nature, gives you an upset stomach and forces you to reach for the Pepto-Bismol. 8. Everything is a scam, and everyone’s got an “angle”. 7. You view the glass as not just being “half-empty”, you secretly believe there’s a hole in the bottom. 6. You take it as fact that short selling doesn’t drive the price down; why sell if the price doesn’t go down so you can cover? 5. You feel a need to protect the masses from the internet “hypsters” that pump “POS” companies like GE. 4. You “know” that there are way too many people working at good jobs. 3. You notice a long in your account and your knee-jerk reaction is “how’d THAT get in there!”. Of course, you blame your broker for the mistake. 2. The long that you noticed in your account starts going up, and you get SCARED! 1. You have a painting of Napoleon on your wall. You’re identified as a terminal case if your painting of Napoleon is on black velvet, or you have his picture in your wallet. :) IC
