I’m no expert in shorting stocks, or even in the stock market. I have a brother who has an Edward Jones office, and he has handled mutual funds for me for 15+ years that have done great – I won’t pull any money out of stock mutual funds. But shorting homebuilder stocks doesn’t sound like a good idea right now – maybe it would have been a great idea 6-12 months ago. I think the market has most likely already factored in the problems they will have in the next couple of years.
