FWIW, ChartSmarts has had quite a few shorts in the model portfolio for weeks now, and I keep trying to add new ones. We've not closed one short for a loss. The biggest gain was 13+% and the smallest was ~2.35%, and we weren't being nimble during most of that time. We never covered at targets --always let ourselves be stopped. The market is thinner than it used to be. You can now make money shorting in a bull run. Mark

It's been this way for a while. There's a lot of stocks that are giving back during this surge.
My opinion isn't worth the HTML it's written on
