BAM! YOU GOT IT! OMFG, SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS!
Name a market that has ever done the opposite. In my limited knowledge, the only one that ever has is the XIV, which bet against the idea of a market getting volatile? The point here is, is that equity markets go up, and HAVE been going up, since the beginning of time. That is the nature of a planet that keeps expanding in both population and output growth.
Why bet against that?
