    Hi YD,
    I suspect that many of the posters on here are happy with their trading and don't gravitate to shorting. That doesn't apply to me. Not sure if they're 'better' than me or I'm greedier.

    Made good money shorting Woolies last week and regularly short large and small companies. Sometimes I short whilst continuing to hold the stock. Done that on RAP and EMC, and would do on WPG if IG Index allowed it.

    The Naked Trader, I think it was, makes the point that stocks go down twice as quickly as they go up. Or was it Alex Elder?
    So on that basis one would probably hold shorts for half the time of stocks. Faster profits.

    IF

    you get it right
