Why shorting is no longer a viable strategy in the US Market.

It just seems that way. since we just rallied 250pts in a day and half, we could go to 10700 and the market wouldnt even be overbought. the supply of money to buy us securities is inexhaustible. its pretty cool in a way.

But beware the end result of burgeoning moral hazard......

Everyone just KNOWS that the WGOFM's (aka PPT) will not counteneance a serious market downturn now don't they?? - until such may be condusive to the interests of the powers that be that is

These guys have real power and all the $$$'s needed to fulfil their mission (courtesy of the reserve currency printing presses). So what the hell's the point of fighting them - Like trying to fart against thunder I'd say. It's the new paradigm

===============
Looks like the Christmas rally early in tek stocks,SPX,SPY;
however long term trend is still down in big media,
medium term trend is still down in big media,
many of them still have the same bias & losing market share.

Exspect further downside there , perhaps later.

Am starting to agree with you..
I try and trade both sides of the market daily but have found that more oftern than normal stocks become unshortable during rallies or market moves and it continues for days.

I believe it is as a result of the brokers having to hold the stock which is contrary to their believe of the stock(s) direction.
