My View on Short Selling: In my view short-sellers are typically more sophisticated and more in tune with specific equity issues. To short a stock is not a typical trade by the average investor on the street. Besides the always "your losses are unlimited" concept, the overtrend is of the market is up over time. If a significant amount of short sellers exist for a specific stock, then there is usually a compelling or interesting viewpoint to be gleamed. One writer who has saved me significant amount of money is Herb Greenberg -- by reporting/investigating what short sellers are doing and their arguments. Herb's thoughts are not always correct -- but his track record is terrific.
