Nick, don't be dishearten, maintain your title, shorting vanguard, he he. Venture is a good counter for both long and short. The only thing needs to observe is that, like other counters as well, players don't apply the same technique everytime. Their opponents are mainly small timers. Poker players same same.

Short or Long decision, are much depended on the first trading day on IPO. AK standard for IPO is that once I got balloted for some shares, I will immediately sell them for good.
I think of shorting this burger on debut 'cause don't like names like Zaino (sound like Zai-lo or to fall down) and DAPAI (sound like to be trampled badly).
What the rest of shortbros think... worth a short here?
