Which is better??? Being Long in a bull mkt or Short in a bear mkt? Which is worse??? Being Short in a bull mkt or Long in a bear mkt?
I have to say, I think the best is being long is a bull market. Everyone happy's your up, all the goofs on CNBC are full of glee. Good Times The worst is being short in a bull market, you really feel like a total douchbag cause against the opposite general bias
Worst would have to be being long in a bear market. Shows you're a dumbass AND the economy is in the toilet. Everyone is in a bad mood and Jeff Macke yells constantly on Fast Money, literally just yells the entire time. It's amazing.
no way if you are long is a bear mkt yes you are down, but everyone else is down too. Misery loves company. But if you are short is a bull mkt, you're down while everyone is happy and up $
Short in a bear. You are acquiring cash (liquidity) when there is a contraction. Opportunities. Long in a bear. As above, but different. Also less chance to re-capitalise as a trader if you blow up.
