Don’t know where the thing is really headed. but to me, if you go against the grain by shorting the entire market, it seems like you have way to many forces going against you. Shorting individual stocks probably works if you know what your doing. But shorting the entire markets with these new reverse indexes, I’m not so sure.
Couldn’t agree more. While the S&P shorts have lost value, the SRS ETF that shorts real estate has appreciated considerably (even though it’s down a little today).
