Do you feel guilty shorting.

Ya gotta love ET. You have one thread warning about tomorrow's volatility, and then you have this thread about feeling guilty for profiting from shorts.

I feel like I've entered the friggin twilight zone.

For some weird reason I felt bad somehow today for shorting and making money today. Do you guys ever feel a bit guilty when short selling and making profits. I did not short BSC but I guess know what happened with them is bad.

I was trading in London for a little hedge fund over 9/11 and was short Ftse and dax it was a pretty quiet day then BANG the market tanked and i did take my position off early as I didnt like taking blood money but that is the only time I felt that way
 
Do you think Paulson feels guilty about shorting our housing markets stocks to the tune of 4bln and putting 100s of business out of business and seeing millions of americans foreclosing? Helllll no.. Greed works, greed clarfies.. etc.....

If you feel bad about profiting you need to change professions.
 
i feel guilty when the mrkt is going down and i 'm long, or up and i'm short, so yes when the mrkt is going up and i'm shorting it i feel guilty does morgan feel guilty buying bear for $2
 
Theoretically, if you get the guilts when shorting, you shouldn't be trading period. Guilt is an emotion is it not. There's no room for emotion in this game.:D
 
Short or Long makes no difference to me..all the same in my mind. Actually the market would be a real mess with out traders playing the short side.

Don't shorts provide liquidity to the market when it is in a free fall, i.e. the uptick rule?
