Hank,
I agree w/ the lesson of shorting... Have to have plenty of margin and based on FA. Sadly I lost big even though all of stocks I shorted (w/gain or w/ loss) tanks if the time frame is 6 mos. I shorted in/out 20 stocks and only one still loss is aol (which I shorted around 60+ pre-split but covered w/small loss). I hope to learn the lesson of bullish/bearish markets and apply to future. BTW I just shorted small BRCM at 80+. Please take a look and I believe this one will see 40 in 6 months.

ATHM continues to amaze me. Back up near 40 today. That puts the market cap right under $5 billion for this stock. Normally I'd be rejoicing for the great shorting opportunity but my short position in this stock is probably too large already.
