The Crash of 2007

[vansmarket]

all the shorts need to capitulate and FED stops giving money to brokers and hege funds before it can gap down. retailers were shorting this market...i'm sure a lot of retail shorts got hammered out

Quote from bluud:

ah ... this is like the hundredth post here on ET that predicts some kind of a crash in the near future

Quote from TudorJones:

Full disclosure: My portfolio is 57% short. This is huge since I never tend to hold any significant outright short positions.

companies like rimm could be lower in a year but who knows what happens over the next 6 months.

would suck to see margin calls only to know months afterwards you were right. i'd rather short the USD and go long metals instead of wizzing into the wind with shorts.
