Shorts
Shortsdon't like the truth? Shorting is, like buying, acting on an opinion on the stock's direction. What does it have to do with the truth?
Shorts being cowards? Let's compare them. A bull can see most of their investment disappear and be able to hold the paper for 6-7 years or more (see PGD bulls) to recover some or most of their money. A short will not just lose the money invested, their loss can be unlimited. They might be required to buy the stock back before it turns in their direction. They might be hit with a margin call. They might be required to pay interest on the stock. A short position is an action based on opinion just like a long one, except it carries a lot more risks. How is that coward?
