Shorting has become almost extinct. Hedge funds (despite their name) rarely short anymore. Buffett has written about it. He briefly tried shorting stocks in his early days. He says that finding bad, over priced stocks is easy, BUT getting the timing right is very difficult.

Hence this advice: "The Market Can Stay Irrational Longer Than You Can Stay Solvent."

I've never shorted; I advise everyone to not even think about it. VERY DANGEROUS.
