Now that's a little silly--you shouldn't have your feelings hurt. There is a consensus of opinion that a purely short portfolio has an unfair advantage in a down market. Thanks for withdrawing that entry and I too hope you enter a mostly long portfolio. You'll probably have karma on your side and win the thing now! Going short everything is so different from everybody else is not actually an interesting experiment. If there were dozens of such entries, perhaps. But that is entirely different contest-- I think in general, shorting is far too difficult for most of us here on Silicon Investor. Choosing a long portfolio is hard enough. fwiw... Last year, my entry gained 4.3%--exactly the return I got by doing nothing with the rest of my money, sheesh! I can't imagine trying to short something, for that matter, I don't even do options anymore. But that's me. Do you short stocks for real Manny? Brave.
