Given all your arguments, why be short? Raise cash and sit on the sidelines. Being short the market, in general, is playing against a stacked deck for now.

and these are supposed to be free markets There is little freedom in markets or otherwise, even in the U.S. now. Try digging a ditch in your own yard without permission, or not paying a tax you dont think you owe. No more assets. Maybe no more out of jail!!! Mohan, I have lost 25% of my investments since August. I am upset to put it mildly. Is the best thing to do for a novice now to sell everything and wait or buy treasuries? I'm afraid to try shorting, although it looks like you could short anything now, I'd probably short the one thing that went up. I no longer believe in buy and hold either: I see very dangerous ground ahead for our economy too with the socialist turn our govt is taking-no matter it if "looks good" to the public. We are now way too much tied into other economies and we know what they look like. Good luck. Freeus
