Cataclysmic Event for Shorting

[hipmatt]

Its one thing to short the market because you believe that the economic fundamentals are just plain negative or wrong… but its another to hope for a “cataclysmic” event similar to the attack on the twin towers, in order to turn a hefty profit. I don’t think I could invest in a bet where I make tons of money on the hopes that innocent people suffer. With an investment strategy like yours, you would be having a bad day if good things keep happening, and that creates a strange and perverse conflict of interest….

…what would you rather happen, A – another terrorist attack killing thousands, but you make a ton of money, or B – good things happen and you make modest gains because you invested accordingly. … just food for thought

I agree with you,however unforeseen events occur all the time. Virtually everyday. I think 2 eventuals in CA are job losses and a big quake. I don’t know if those are shortable, but to some they are going to be cataclysmic.

Actually, I like to short in the aftermath of a short squeeze, myself. Like, oh, this past Monday, for instance.

But then you have to have the humility to cover once you that “I’m such a genius” notion starts to form in your head.
