Yep, for some reason the mindset is entirely different when going short. I can be long and totally underwater, yet still sleep at night (well....up to a point<G>. BUT, have my short start to go against me and I fret and worry myself into a state of hyper-vigilance. I guess it's because we know that stocks NORMALLY want to go UP. It's unnatural to go short so we feel uncomfortable. That's why the charts are such a neccessity when going short. The Candles were downright spooky predicting NSS. It was textbook stuff.
