Steven, you said >I really don't like the short side, though. I feel dirty. :) <

You're doing a noble thing that must be done! Imagine nobody shorted.
The stock would quickly rise to 100 - and then where would we be?

No reason to do so; there is no ethical, business or moral difference between taking long vs. short postions. The only difference is the logic re: the direction the stock is predicted to take.
