Your math is beyond stupid. If it goes back up to 1.5, you have the same profit as when you passed 1.5 going down. The only way you could lose on this was if you sold out at 1.0 then bought back in with all of your profit from your first position and it went up ti 1.5. Of couse, only you would sell out and then go short at 1??????????? You can't fix stupid, it appears. To Andre post 5/06/09.

Think of Citi: the share fell from 40 to 1 over a few months. you are making a killing with your supposedly double short strategy. suddenly the share moves from 1 back to 1.5 (i.e. 50% gain, which means you lose 2*50% = 100%). all in all, Citi shares fell from 40 to 1.5 and instead of making a killing on your supposedly short strategy, you actually get wiped-out!!! (BTW this is exactly what happened to many of the skf investors over past 12 months... financials fell by c. to 60% and SKF return was negative 15%!!)
