If I could play short I would many times, along the way up and down.....but I am not allowed to play options or short stocks in my IRA account with schwab. it hurts at time like this. I cant day trade either.hedges straddles all that stuff. I cant do.
If I opened a cash account I could do that but then I'd have to study options trading for a year before I felt ready. and I dont trust this corrupt rigged stock market. enough to play with my wife's inheritance like this. It took me 2 years to convince her to let me manage it.
and now its Crunch Time for the global stock markets.
