It's a weird market at the moment. My portfolio is currently extremely short (75% short, 25% long). Yet it is going up on up days, and down on down days.

How a short portfolio can move in the same direction as the market is beyond me. My only theory is that the clever people hold the same longs as me, and those longs go up or down on important news relating to interest rates etc. The less clever people (who are long on all of my shorts) don't really understand whats going on. So they don't react with the rest of the market to interest rate news etc.

Personally I am pretty sure that it is the clever people who hold my longs, and the less clever people who are long on my shorts. The rest of it I am less sure about.
