I tend to not short anything. The losses can be infinite. When you buy an asset, your losses can only be what you put into it. When you short, the value can keep going up to infinity and so will your losses. In reality, that doesn't happen but the fear of it happening keeps me from shorting too often and if I do, it's never any big amount. So if you short, you better be damn sure the price is going to fall.
