Bigworld, >> generational Bear market, 4th Turnings <<
It's possible, but a lot safer to just wait for it to start before going significantly short. And nothing wrong with sitting the whole thing out in T-Bills (unless the dollar reserve system itself crumbles). There's no rule saying we have to seek profits in a bear market, when just avoiding losses will be a big victory. With your money intact in cash/T-bills then go bargain shopping after the crash. I think that's Rickards basic strategy (preservation), with the T-Bills, 10% in gold, and the other hard asset plays.
Trying to short is also 'hubristic', and tempts fate (Hubris begets Nemesis). No sense ending up in a financial Greek tragedy.
