Gary, shorting in this market is for those who can sleep very well when a grossly over valued short position goes even higher. Those who can't sleep or are in pain should not be playing. It is not crazy to be short a stock like AMZN at $100, crazy is being long.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't think shorting in this market is that hard. Aside from the blue chips and the internet stocks, the market is very weak. The smallcaps are not showing any signs of life.

>>>Despite all this we still find babble about shorting<<<

YTD, and for the past 52 weeks, the return on the short side of my portfolio has exceeded the returns of the S&P 500 by a significant number of basis points, and is outperforming the long side on an ROI metric as well. If you stick to the dogs like CFON, PNDA, and CCSI, shorting is most profitable.
