A Good Stock to Short?

Be careful about shorting stocks. Unless you're very experienced in this, you can get squeezed pretty hard. Even veteran traders get caught on the wrong side of shorts from time to time.

Liberty is right. Look at Bill Ackman with Herbalife.
If your long and the stock goes against you then
at least you know it can't go lower than zero. If
your short there is no limit to how far it can go
against you. If you think we're ready for a pull
back then just trim some of your existing positions
and raise some cash.
