Triple...considering you worked in the market like I did I am surpised to hear you say that shorting is bad karma. As long as it's done legally why not? If a company is being run poorly and misses on earnings why shouldn't you be able to go short just as you can go long if the company is doing well.

I will never understand this attitude about shorting being bad karma.

Now naked shorting is a differnt story and has nothing to do with shorting legally.
