are you not concerned that these stocks are going down while everything else seems to be going up? I am feeling lazy about doing much more research right now but listening to the ceo of zurich financial at about 4 am piqued my curiosity. instead of shorting have you considered buying the vix vxx? i dont know enough about it other than it is extremely volatile. seems to act inverse to the market though. so even when the market goes up a lot it can go down a lot. strange. I have hangups with tax implications of shorting. i cant short in an ira account and i guess anytime you short something you end up paying short term cap gains on it which in mass is a killer like over 10%. for me it seems like the odds are not much better than horse racing.
