here, most people's concept of vested interests is usually just LONG... i dont see how one cannot be just as fully vested in Shorts during a clear downtrend. playing one side (bull) is simply limiting one's profit potential...
your thoughts?
hehe....u winston, HH, MM, SS, Lena are all the gurus.
For myself I have been burnt badly before shorting during the early 2000s. Shorting RIMM, PALM, AMZN, JNPR etc haha
Right now I do not really short/sell futures to make money. Rather they are there more or less as an insurance in a downtrend market. So I will be keeping them to a minimal (5%). The downside with shorting is unlimitless if you do not know what you are doing. Lucky with the 2 downdays, my insurance is paying off
