if you keep trying, you will may be e correct half of the time, very short term, and incorrect all the time, long term... but also remember unlimited potential losses being short.....so for example with $25,000 short you could loose $250,000!!!!!... if a buyout came in at $3 Biillion out of the blue with no notice or warning...... just like that...do you feel comfortable trying to get investors to take on that level of risk...
