It's not stupid to short if you have a short signal and a reasonable risk/reward. What is stupid is trying to pick tops ...and bottoms without the aforementioned.

So the question you need to ask and answer for yourself (not us) is were you shorting because you have a trading plan that defines a set of variables and conditions that were present and as such indicated a short was appropriate, or were you simply selling a perceived R level?
