Well, they aren't..and you weren't complaining then.

Here's the way I look at it....I can't fight um, so I joined them. Learn how to short...so you can take both sides. Or if shorting just goes against your constitution...then go long any number of inverse ETF's out there.

It’s not a matter of playing the game. I invest the have some kind of retirement but I don’t invest to be the next Warren Buffett. Speaking of Warren.. he made his money doing the old buy and hold anyways.
I don’t need to bet against a stock to make money.. plenty of ways to make money without doing that.
It’s not about “missing out” on money that’s out there. Just because you can do something or because it’s always been done doesn’t make it right.
Just take a look at what happened with Long Term Capital Management and what their behavior could of done to the economy if the Worlds 50 biggest banks didn’t save their butt.
