Shorting is a blood sport.... so i hear

I had my issues shorting netflix, im tired of messing with technology shorts to be honest - though currently looking at Pandora (p). Guess i cant help it.

Chanos portfolio is a diversified short portfolio with the occasional long.

Even his largest "bets of the decade" shorting china he only had 5-10% of his portfolio exposed.

I also have a feeling he is able to not have to cover like majority of us - just a feeling

I am also currently short VALE, EWA, BHP fwiw:

- Vale since 2010, March 2011, July 2011
-BHP since July/Aug 2011
-EWA since July/Aug 2011
