Yes, I short. But prefer the long side. The long side is infinite. the short side is bounded by zero. a $10 stock short can only go as far as 0 or $10. The long can go to the sky.

In this bull, there are always longs available. I don't pick out just a few stocks to watch so market conditions need to yell for the short for me to go there.

A person who looks at only 1-5 stocks could more easily play both sides equally.
