Totally agree with you, moneymaker and paramount, that things are reaching a tipping point. I’ve been anxiously waiting for it for the past few years in anticipation of shorting again. But I cannot overstate the risks of shorting. Been waiting for certain things to fall into place before shorting again, and there are definitely signs of trouble, but the last experience made me (and others, I believe) much more wary of shorting…even if you’re 100% right about the economy and markets.
Of course, as a contrarian, that might make it the best shorting opportunity, yet! 😉
Just want you to know about some of the very real risks where shorting is concerned. Since they’ve shown their willingness to go all-out against the shorts before, I think it’s reasonable to assume they can and will do it, again.
This is one of the most difficult markets to invest/trade in, IMO.
