Opportunity Buffet Part 2

Some stocks go up, some go down. When stocks go up a lot, expectations gets out of whack and stocks breakdown. The IBD kind earnings and price momentum stocks often make great shorts because of volatility of their earnings. After few quarters of good earnings, even a slight slowdown is fatal.

On the short side stocks price peaks before fundamental peak, so it is very different game identifying shorts. The catalyst which work on long side, do not work exactly in reverse on short side. Plus presence of dip buyers, growth at reasonable price, and value investors, there are buyers at different levels below current price with different motivations and holding periods. So the ride down is much bumpier.
