Get a hot babe and head for the hills......we're screwed and the only way modern Govt knows how to fix this mess is Via WAR! The only way to make the current situation look ok is to make it worse first.

Kidding!

My point was that short does not save you. When paper dives if you are short paper you are not saved! During a meltdown - the conversion from "short paper" - to paper - to hard assets can take so long that your profits erode.

In other words you can't convert fast enough to save your ass!
