So are you shorting Gold?

They need dips like these to let everybody in and suck them into the madness :p

That's what it is. Every ETF has registered market markets, generally some of the big brokers, who are able to create or redeem ETFs against the respective basket of underlying stocks. If the underlying basket of stocks has a price delta > x vs. the ETF these market makers can try to make risk...

Wrong on what? I objected to this statement (not posted by you) and then you joined in and explained to us stating the obvious how you manage to make money shorting individual stocks or sectors while you are 90% long. Who cares??? Not really to the point was it, but hey what do you care as...

Those are the same guys that went short 1997, 1998, 1999. They were the "smart money" increasing short interest in those day. Why should we think they are smart now than they were then?

I am not in denial of that. But we were talking about the entire market, not individual stocks or even sectors, sorry.

I didn't say that. I said following the so-called "smart money" (hedge funds, dedicated short sellers, 130/30 index funds) is not always the smartest choice, especially for an extended period of time. You'd follow a crowd that historically loses money on the short side over the long term. If...

Ok and who in the world was able to accomplish the neat little trick you outlined above on a) a constant Net short basis b) over a complete market cycle My point is and was that the "smart money" being net short right now is not necessarily being very smart based on historical evidence...

Seriously do you have some mental problems? I am sorry to say this again, I thought we were able to get along, but reading your above post just makes me think somethings wrong with you. Maybe I'm just wasting my time explaining myself, you sound like you know it all and you're not interested...

Good luck catching the next one.

You're missing the point. Many of those that went short whatever shit companies in 2000 were long other stuff. Possibly with a long bias simply because that's how most equity hedge funds are setup. It's next to impossible to make money or even beat the SP500 over a complete market cycle going in...

Sisi and ByLow.. .Case closed Oh there's so much money to be made shorting!!!! You just gotta go 200% net short and be right to call the top to the exact tick!!! Then you made it!!

And you think more money is made shorting than losing money covering short positions in the red don't you? "If you were".... famous last words. Oh boy :p

Why are statistics silly. Your common sense approach doesn't work here. Show me a dedicated short fund that made consistent money through both a bull and bear market. You will have a hard time finding one.
