I am shorting Apple currently, primarily because the market seems very touchy right now and my portfolio needs some short positions for balance, and Apple seems as good a stock to short as any.
I am lazy. I am not sure how you would come to the conclusion that I would not succeed. But you seem very certain of it. I will bet you (u) $1,000 that my IB account will be up over $100,000 for March 2013. Since you have been on this site for 10 years you probably know some trustworthy moderator that will hold our $1,000 bets.
yawn.. who cares about your account on march 31?!? mind your own business while we mind ours. btw, your account could be anywhere and still you blow up in the end because that's how the law of large numbers plays out.
Where is your short, stop loss, and what percentage of your total capital is your position? Profit target##?
