What's easier and more profitable, trading long or short in a bear market?
Some people just aren't comfortable shorting or like to defend there longs as that is how they made their career and they now have the money and skill to do that. For some people it isn't easier and more profitable. Just looking at a chart and seeing that it went down more than up, isn't directly related to one being easier. You'd have to assume all things are equal with all traders and that couldn't be further from the truth.
