I tried to short ARKK. Was able to short two small positions. Then IB said they were not available to short. This is the problem with shorting securities. Our trading system only makes it possible to buy or long, but makes it extremely hard to short. Only limited ETFs are inverse. Equity future is another story.
No it's not! It's a big game, you just havent recognized it yet. Run the Nasdaq down, run the Dow up. When it looks really bad (ignoring Dow) and panic sets in, run the Dow down then to create just a bit more mayhem, and low and behold we save the earth by running the bottomed out Nasdaq back up again. Thats how we prolong the bull market, take turns running the indexes up and down out of synch of each other.
