Rate Of Return
Auto-Trade AceIn the U.S. stock market, the cost of "shorting" is typically significantly higher than "going long":
Going long on stocks has no interest cost (unless using margin), no time limit, and unlimited upside potential.
Shorting stocks involves time decay for puts, interest costs for borrowing shares, leverage decay for double-leveraged ETFs, and the maximum profit is capped at the stock going to zero.
Just looking at the indices, I think dollar-cost averaging and selling on rallies is already the most significant form of shorting the U.S. stock market. 🧐🧐
Last time we were in such a hurry to chase the top was at the end of October, and then the government shut down, causing volatility until April this year.
