Iqbal: I agree that the day-trader has the most to profit from being long, there is no fear here, I would have a very different attitude if I were day-trading. Remember that you as a short-term trader has a very different perspective than those of us who cannot watch the market during the day or at all. Like many Americans I do not have direct access to some of my funds as they are locked into a 401K plan through my employer and we cannot buy options or short stocks in them. If one is anticipating an inflationary correction then one has to remove the funds in advance and put the money in short-term funds as both stocks and bonds will lose, or buy puts on the long investments in the 401K plan. So if the S&P goes down the active market will profit at the expense of the 401K plans and mutual funds. When you view opinions of others it is generally useful to understand constraints in their strategy.
