Strange question...

It should be the same... Shorting lost is like selling at present price but buy at lower price.

Why u bother how much u losing money?

U cannot base how much u losing money to decide which one to better trade.

Because during trading, u alrdy lost money when u pay fees to broker.

Keverus can comment on the fair price for Healthway Medical Corp ?
Their shares will be bought by IHC, which would offer 1 IHC share for every 4.5 HMC shares.

Another thread said existing shareholders sure huat!

Shorting has more risk than longing.

Longing- Potential losee= all your principle amount
Shorting- potential loss is unlimited, depends how the price shoot up. if it shoots up 200% in 1 day, then u lose your principle +100%

Chances of stocks shooting up so much in 1 day is lower than a stock tumbling. Going up is always so slow and going down is way faster than up.

Beginner 1st thing to learn is how to set a stop loss. Then be obsessed with it all the time.
