Derb- Don't fight the power, succumb to it.,
As in the many books as I have read, "short" is part of the game. Big dollars befall you if in the right place at the right time.
Seems days of late one could almost pick the institute, do the short thing and be a winner! And seems of late your capital can grow quicker than the other way! Just take a look at any chart, seems more down then up and most cases a longer trend down anyway....except if your LEH....AIG...etc.
I have yet to attempt this side...my "bells" aren't that big yet...LOL!
