Probing stocks for shorts

[RevGslick]

Hi Shannon,
I finally remembered my password so this is my actual Nick. I'll give you backround on myself. I was heavily into shorting during the internet run-up. I would short momentum plays that would run 50-100% in 1-3 days. I would just short the running for the exits. Anyways, showing my inexperience, I put all my eggs into one basket and finally was burned last year. I lost about 6 months of hefty profits in one trade. I felt so terrible I didn't trade since. But now, I've educated myself as per protecting gains and consistency. My first day trading again will be tomorrow. I've done some minor paper trading in the process. I like to play the momentum which ever way it might be so that means I'm willing to play a long position although I find it easier to call a short. I've crawled the internet searching for resources pertaining to shorting. There are not really any active forums or educational resources so it's great to see yourself and a couple of others using this board. I look forward to contributing on a daily basis. I don't want to interrupt your board though as you have mentioned that you use this board as a scrapbook. I finished reading your 25 points and couldn't agree with you more as per most of them. Unfortunately I'm still getting on my feet so I can't divvy up my money into 10 parts. I look forward to your input and would love to hear how you got into shorting.
