Shorting is for pros. You’ve got value investor like Bill Miller at Legg Mason who are buying up homebuilders, and all you need is one bounce to lose all your money. I posted a link the other day about all the people that lost money in GM puts due to a small bounce. I think it’s risky, although I know this stuff is going down big time, I can still lose it all shorting,by technicalities and big traders buying on a dip.
