RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Why Short a Stock?? AnswerRobbie good research, since I didn't check the longer term trend. At least the recent trend from the last few reports have been going in the right direction, downward. I agree that too much is being made from the current short positions. I can't see too many new positions being implemented at the current prices. The risk reward doesn't seem to add up here. There are plenty of other shorting opportunities with companies actually facing insolvency and rather dismal property prospects.
