Quote from Nine_Ender:
I recommended four fairly safe equities to go long some time ago to you. Did you buy them ? I believe they were RIM, INTC, TD, and BNS ( or some other Canadian bank ). Only INTC hasn't moved up much but they are doing a huge share buyback and it remains a strong long term play.
It seems you'd rather follow the crowd here and short the hell out of the market nonstop until you lose all your money. I'd say no better then 1 in 10 people taking this shorting approach comes out ahead in the long run.
