Introduction Compact

I would like to start this thread as a forum to educate those of us who lwould like to know more about the ART of short selling.
I ask that NO single stock be mentioned here.
I ask only that if anyone has anything to offer on the ART of short selling, or can reference websites, books, newsleters, etc., or can offer ANYTHING to help the novice or intermediate short seller,
that one post here.
I have asked Rober Babb to participate and he has graciously accepted.
Thanks for all future input.....Mike
