My very short experience with shorting taught me to : 1. Not short a company that is a leader in its industry (the biggest in the particular business). It doesn't matter how compelling the valuation arguments. 2. Much easier to short a small (chinese) company that is a fraud. 3. Never be too confident. 4. Shorting is not for me :) I have a lot of respect for professional short sellers like Chanos. Is there anyone on the board who has a successful record in shorting. Good Investing, Georgi
