>>BFIT: patience is a virtue I don't have when shorting.<< I short long term based on fundamentals. I do not use technical analysis. Some people think those of us who short on fundamentals are crazy [Including Cramer]. This is the only way I feel comfortable shorting so this is what works for me. For my style patience is key. IMO if you lack patience you will cover some good shorts too soon, but again you have to do/use what works for you! I am surprised BFIT is your only short in the red. You are doing much better than me! Congratulations! >>I almost bought more today but decided not to chase it.
