Always remember, the system is set up to go higher, granted short selling can generate profits quickly, they can also disappear just as fast. All it takes is for a couple of desks to start a Bin Lauden rumor and poof its all gone.
I watched this all thru the bear market 2001-2003, profits can and will evaporate by the time you return from the restroom. Im not trying to scare anyone, congrats to the shorts today!
