Thanks for the kind words. People tend to hate shorters for the very reasons you mentioned. I don't mind shorting, it has made me financially very comfortable. In the past few weeks I shorted LEAP, SEEK, IFLY, just to name a few. We are all in it to make money. It's funny, people always hate it when you are long when they are short, and vice versa. It is getting more and more difficult to get people to actually have an open dialouge about individual stocks. Too much hype based on flimsy facts. People much rather think with their hearts than their heads. These are usually the people who buy high and sell low (follow the herd). Good luck. P.S. Next time an ambulance is behind you when your driving, look in the rearview mirror. You will find your answer.
