Better not to tell the people you know. If you tell a bunch of strangers and they tell you you're a fool, so what you don't know them. When the people you know are negative, it hurts. It hurts because you know them, and it hurts because they are the ones who should be giving you emotional...

demo user. I was seeing it as de-mouser :)

We're all newbs when it comes to SSF. There's a couple old-timers on here who have been trading them since a whole 12 hours ago. They have an advantage in selling them over selling short the stock. No uptick rule. You can sell the SSF as it drops. Any time you use margin there's that risk...
