Indian Stock Market

IMHO, shorting of a stock should not be done on good companies, having good fundamentals. The ’shot upward’ that good companies take on some fundamental news story will make your shorting action TOO EXPENSIVE to recover. Do it on stocks that have poor patterns from a chart perspective, and ones that are being sold off by brokers as mentioned in a brand new analyst report.
I think shorting takes a skill that is different than typical FA and TA, and it is made for a select few. I have done a few in the US, and succeeded less than 40% of the time.
