I don't think he really meant investors playing it short. I think he was simply referring to those of us who are Short Term investors, just looking to play the bounce, which we all know is coming. In fact, we'll likely see it move starting Monday and if they put out news, well then it may be a really nice run.
wrong Luke. There are small brokerage firms out there that offer investors with the right amount of cash...$25k....the opportunity to short what they want. It is fairly new and something that I have yet to do, but I do know of a few traders that are doing it.
