ooch! Shorts Hammered: Dow +190; SKF -8; gld -2.6

How’s it going shorts? It looks like all your favorite plays are tanking. GLD is all the way down to 84. SKF is down to 93. Meanwhile, the DOW has just crossed 13,000.

Josh, let me know when you cover or go broke so that I can go short at that time. I must say you have really shown your investment acumen with your call to panic sell at 11,800. And whatever happened to that guy who was calling for DOW 8,000?

And GS is nearing 200… bastards. May they stumble and chip a tooth.

As a basic long index investor, who has some shorts to take the sting off of the (inevitable?) crash, I’m still OK (though the losses of the shorts took away from the gains of the market, but then, that’s the point of hedging).

I’m planning to keep my shorts, because I’m still convinced that we’re in for a second, deeper, round of trouble. Mostly, I keep my shorts to hold like comfy teddy-bears on the tougher, down days…
