Scope...I recall the VVUS drop well. I'm long more stocks than I am short, but a good short is particualrly satisifying because, as the old trusim has it: stocks go up more than they go down, but they go down a lot faster than they go up. And having some shorts in a portfolio, I think, can serve as a good hedge. I'd rather score a quick in and out with a short but some, like DDIM and PRst, the latter of which I have held short for a long time, seem deserving of a longer holding period. Good luck!
