Put these emotions in order

Which is better???
Being Long in a bull mkt or Short in a bear mkt?



Which is worse???
Being Short in a bull mkt or Long in a bear mkt?
 
I have to say,


I think the best is being long is a bull market. Everyone happy's your up, all the goofs on CNBC are full of glee. Good Times


The worst is being short in a bull market, you really feel like a total douchbag cause against the opposite general bias
 
Worst would have to be being long in a bear market. Shows
you're a dumbass AND the economy is in the toilet. Everyone is in a bad mood and Jeff Macke yells constantly on Fast Money,
literally just yells the entire time. It's amazing.

no way if you are long is a bear mkt yes you are down, but everyone else is down too. Misery loves company. But if you are short is a bull mkt, you're down while everyone is happy and up $

Short in a bear. You are acquiring cash (liquidity) when there is a contraction. Opportunities.

Long in a bear. As above, but different:). Also less chance to re-capitalise as a trader if you blow up.

Agree to disagree, my friend. I still don't like listening to Macke scream over the Fast Money Five.
