Fannie Mae-No Politics (FNMA)

[timster]

I guess I just don't get the idea of shorting if it is for a few cents at a time. I would think that with the cycle that seems to be established those controlling this could run it to a few dollars and then walk it back down and see much bigger gains. I don't short, so maybe I am missing something?

I am long and have been since buying at .28, but I am trying to understand the ideology behind shorting.
