sure. you can short weak and most likely small ones. as a matter of facts, my most successful shorts are either small or mid caps. but I don't want to give picks on small cap on public forum. these heavy-weights such as aapl and amzn are dominating index and therefore they are a good metrics for overall market.

LNKD is not a hard bone. Once it drops, it will drop like a rock. I was waiting for the best time to initialize my position on LNKD yet, likely when FB finally comes to IPO.

as a rule of thumb of my personal favoritism, I don't short certain sectors such as financials.

long time haven't been here, and was really amazed by these 2 shorts.

Not trying to be mean, but those two were 2 of the most dummy short candidates out there, either from TA point or FA point.  If you wont' spend time on business research, please at least learn more about charting.

I won't bother to comment on why.

feel free to delete this post, my real intension is warning those who follow this thread, you better forget this thread.

I really don't know who is the lite1067, so nothing against the ID him/herself.

May10 (when two picks were recommended to short) EOD
      AMZN:226.69
      LNKD:111.00
benchmark SPY: 136.02
benchmark QQQ:64.19

06/01 EOD
       AMZN: 208.22 (-8.15% from 5/10)
       LNKD: 91.51    (-17.56% from 5/10)
       SPY: 128.16     (-5.78% from 5/10)
       QQQ : 60.41    (-5.89% from 5/10)


I thought AMZN & LNKD were two relatively safe bets. I had a few other shorts which were more volatile but paid off much bigger.

两个都做了，LNKD比较痛快，来回做了两次，AMZN比较磨蹭，小做了一把，没耐心跟它磨了，就出来了。如果不是经常操作的，真是两个好的SET UP. 其实还是看大市，75%左右的股票是跟大市的，大市跌的时候谨慎作多，反之亦然。
