I learned how to short early on in the game, and call me a sadist, but I absolutely enjoy it. This is not to say I didn't ride the bull last year, which I did. But I"ve switched gears since March to the short side. One of the benefits of short selling is that long traders still far outnumber short sellers, and the shorts can capitalize on the "fear" factor in this type of market. The longs are quick to shake on any signs of weakness. Many traders won't short for various reasons, mainly because they don't fully understand how to do it. But for anyone to sit around and say "this market sucks, and I don't short", to me, is not a true trader. Profits can be made in any market, up or down. All that is needed is volatility, which we have plenty of.
