Do you feel guilty shorting.

No, I never felt that way. And I had a good day shorting after the market reopened after the 9/11 close. It's what I do.

Who should feel guilty? Corp. execs who manipulate news and financials for their own gain - and then run their Co. into the ground. These guys are criminals.

I don't know if I've ever seen a worse case than TASR in 2004. Where is the SEC?
 
Quote from KINGOFSHORTS:

For some weird reason I felt bad somehow today for shorting and making money today. Do you guys ever feel a bit guilty when short selling and making profits. I did not short BSC but I guess know what happened with them is bad.

Quote from Fangdog:

If you feel guilty about anything relating to your trading...you are in deep trouble down the road. Their wouldn't be any hamburgers or Chicken McNuggets if some guy felt guilty slaughtering cattle and chickens....It is all just part of the deal and the way it is. In the mean time, I think I'll go out and short something, then eat a hamburger.

I always thought hamburgers are made out of plastic, where do you get real hamburgers?

Well there is a place just off the freeway in North Powder Oregon.

Great big thick juicy Angus beef Patty fried on the grill, real tomato (red and tasty), fresh lettuce, thick sliced Walla Walla Onion, Dill Pickle, slice of cheese, mustard and mayonnaise. Real french fries made out of real potatoes they cut right in front of you. Then deep-fry them golden-brown in real lard which has that special flavor. They look like logs laying in you plate....it just doesn't get any better than that.

So the next time you happen to be "tooling" down the Interstate and stumble upon Noth Powder, stop and give those people a shout.
 
i've yet to hear someone who is long a stock feel guilty about it when a short squeeze happens on a crap company.

so, no, no guilt. why would i?
