>This is an interesting strategy and one that I have personally used with some success. The idea of shorting stocks based on potential catalysts makes a lot of sense, as the risk/reward ratio can be skewed in your favor if you are able to accurately predict when certain events will occur. However, it's important to remember that this type of trading requires careful research into each individual stock before making any trades so that you don't end up exposed too much risk or taking on more than necessary for the reward being sought after. Good luck!
