Semantics. The most you can gain by shorting any common stock is the amount you originally bet. If you sell short 100 shares of GX at $60, you're in for $6k. That's your bet and your maximum winnings. It's not the same for going long, where you start with your bet in the hope that it will return many times your original investment.

I'm not here to argue about it, just to learn from aha, as Jochen is. Let's just drop it--it's really not worth it.
