If you have to ask then you should not short a stock. Selling short is very dangerous because the amount of money you could use is unlimited. I would suggest you buy put options instead. Options are tricky but at least the amount you can lose is limited to what you pay for the options. |

I rarely allow a short to go overnight. I want my shorts safe and quick. But everyone trades differently. |

So long as you think you can make more money off of it...
Personally I stick to long positions, since over the long term the market tends to go up more than down, but that's just me.
The only real consequence I can think of is that if you hold the position for a year the capital gains taxes you'd pay would go down, but I wouldn't hold a stock a year for that reason alone. |

In my opinion, you can keep the short position as long as you keep dropping your buy-stop order downwards. That way, whenever the stock starts to rise, you will be covered. Be very careful however to always have a buy-stop order set-up. You can have a dog of a real estate stock, and they all are dropping and great shorts. But, suddenly some big company will come along and buy that stock without you even knowing it, and then the stock will suddenly shoot upwards. But, if you are careful, it is not a problem. Also, for another poster. A short position, no matter how long held, is always considered a short term capital gain by the IRS, because you never actually own the stock. Therefore, it does not make a lot of sense to hold it just for that purpose. |

You need a system to tell you when to buy back and quit your position. |

it's best to stay in as long as you feel you can profit after taxes and commission is taken out. It's probably smart on your part to take what you is best to your needs. |
