if one of these major corporations with a large wad of cash/securities were to suddenly go short, they could generate huge amounts of short-term profits, then sort of be 'king of the hill' once the damage were done. i don't imagine any of the financial officers at these companies is smart enough to do that though.

say intc took its portfolio, sold it, then went short... while everything went 'TU' they could reap in the harvest.

again, i don't think anyone in such financial departments has the brains.

even a potential 'dot.bom' with millions in seed money could go short the market and 'win' here.
