If you watch the show regularly you know that Fast Money trader Guy Adami has been pounding the desk for days about signals he considers bearish. "The path of least resistance appears to be lower," he says over and over. Of course not every stock will decline. So, which stocks should you short? We asked Pip Coburn of Coburn Ventures.

    Best Buy Co Inc

Rip Coburn, founder and CEO of Coburn Ventures, said he was short Best Buy (BBY) because he thinks big box consumer electronics outfits are on the wane. He said consumers are much smarter about shopping around for products.
