<<Smartest way to short IFLY. << and Lots cheaper than PUTS BTY I am long on warrants . Charts predict a rise in BAMM and MALL. I believe IFLY will also rise. But if I were to short, I would play it smart. I would short IFLY and go long on the warrants as a hedge. I would short 1/2 of the # of shares of stock that I was long in the warrants. That way, you would make a nice profit if IFLY tanked and also would not lose if IFLY went to 20. BTW One of the most common mistakes made by ALL traders [me included] is to become bullish when a stock has recently appreciated and bearish when a stock has recently declined. Judging by the way MALL fell from 60's to 37 and IFLY fell from 16 to 7 3/4 and AMZN from 190 to 140, what now would be the likeliest mistake? JMHO Dart
