Fred will benefit a little as well:lolBIG:
I've traded mutual funds in the last year only with good results. Had one fund that underperformed for 15 years up until then. I've boughten three stocks in my life and never sold a share. NVO, LLL, and a recent cowboy money effort at ISRG, appears I may have gotten in a bit late with that one . I don't know how to even short but I'm getting more interested in it.
easiest way for the layman to short is via etfs you long these just buy them like you would any other stock on the market but they are inversely correlated.
these are extremely volitile and some are leveraged so not for the risk adverse just as a warning
can pick out specific markets you want to bet against as well
