Mano;

Me too. I don't know anyone who has consistently or even on balance stayed profitable by going short. Its like trying to make a living in the options market. No one but the insiders win. They have the advantage and they keep it dear.

manohar,

RE: If you know anyone who's made a fortune shorting let me know!

Jesse Livermore made and lost several fortunes shorting stock. Read his book "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" (under pseudonym Edwin Lefevre). It's old but required reading for any student of the market.
