Is trading the ES easier than stocks?

Quote from Buy1Sell2:

ES is much easier in part due to the fact that you can short so easily.

I vote that the dumbest post in the last 6 month on ET.
 
I'm talking about the mechanics of shorting, not advocating a short bias here. The mechanics of shorting are certainly easier in ES than stocks.
 
Being able to short easily is barely an edge at all. It used to be.

And it's no big deal to get short many stocks now, even with an uptick rule.
 
the mechanics of shorting ES are simpler. I did not indicate that this was an edge. It just means that when you want to short, it's just a button away without borrowing shares. My point is irrefutable.

exactly--- it is much easier to trade because in part because the mechanics are so much easier. There is no borrowing of shares or borrowing of money to trade/short ES. Trades/shorts are more easily affected. This point is very simple, it does not pertain to any edge in being more profitable in ES than stocks.
 
B1S2, just leave it. Those of us who trade futures understand you perfectly, but there is always that contingent that has to start something. That's ET.
