    Shorting the market requires precise timing. Being early is just as bad as being wrong.

    “The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent”.

    I wish we could all short it and end out on top but the market is so manipulated we’d need to be insiders to time it properly. Good luck if you still do it, but be careful put there

      This is like being tempted to do heroin, for me. I tried it out of curiosity, it turned out bad, and I’ll never do it again.
