Not much to say: I am a retiree who can at last be an almost full time investor, not quite a day trader but a short term trader. Not because I think that this will make me richer as a "real" investor, that keeps it's long positions for months or even years! It's just more fun.

A new position per day is healthy :-)

Why "happyshorter"?

I live in Canada, and the TSX contains a terrible percentage of stocks that pollute and/or endangers the native population's health (mining, oil sand),I never buy them but wait till some of those are ready to short.

Am I too pessimistic? I always do better when I short. But I can also be long!

Very conservative with my RSSP, ... More I love to risk a little more with my not too big USD account, the one that gives me the margin ... to short!

Trading is not my only "hobby", I am a pretty good dressage rider, and I love gardening and caring for older persons.

And as you can see, I love to write, even if English is only my third language.
