George,
Sorry, but I can't help out with shorting info.
I been burning out brain cells reading, studying, and trying to apply
McMillan's, "Options as a Strategic Investment".
IMO, options are better suited for me, betting with or against the dice (sorry, I love to play craps).

Regards.

Bill/WA

I recently purchased "The Art of Short Selling" from Amazon. It sounded like a good read, but ended up being a book of short stories. Interesting reading, but offering little if anything in the way of solid technical analysis.

Save yourself the $30.

you may want to try "tools of the bear" by Caes I have not read it yet but looking through the index, it covers margin requirements,basic stratagies,puts, calls,hedging, etc. I bought this and Kathryn Staley's book for $70(hope I didn't get taken) thru Traders Library at 1-800-272-2855 hard to say which one is the best,there is also about 3/4 other short sale books in their cataloge
