What I have to say about your comment is in the aftermath of the mortgage banking crisis that occurred in 2008, by February of the following year, when Barack was in the White House, the US stock market had reached a bottom. Taking a cue from Warren Buffett, who has often said that when people become fearful that is when I become greedy, I bought shares in companies I sort of understood: Tractor Supply, Family Dollar, Dollar General, Goldman Sachs, Clean Harbors, Stryker, AutoZone, Scotts Miracle Gro, Churchill Downs, Rockwell Automation, plus a few others. You can research the long term charts for these stocks. I haven't sold a single share of any of them.
I find naked shorting analysis tiresome.
