I short very rarely Augie. Too many shorts I hear called involve intraday trading or take risks based on AH earnings. My style is more as a swingtrader, as I prefer to hold at least a coupla days, and I've been burned enough times on AH guesses that I won't risk much there. Thus, shorts that set up for 2-5 day drops are what I look for, and they usually occur when the market is turning from a peak or setting up for a move to the bottom of the next valley. As for MSFT at $1? Despite its overpriced and overbearing ways, I don't wish that, cuz if that occurred, we'd be trading hot mkt tips in a bread-or-soup-line. I'd rather see F trade for $1 and EFCX at $200, so my kids and future descendants'll have an Earth to enjoy.
