Yes true. But every time I short the DOW or S&P I get slapped in the face. There are plenty of reasons why they should tank. But the yanks are so arrogant they just don't care what happens to the rest of the world and I'm starting to think that could be a good thing if you're a long term investor. I think that last weeks rise in the US indices was them saying to China "We are still the big boss".
