Every time the market tumbles, they come out of hibernation roaring about how smart they are. But, when the market is up 10% for the year, you never hear from them. These people are like the gambler who tells you how much money they just won, but never mention how much they have lost over the years. Since the long-term direction of the market is up, it's like a losing proposition to take a continuous short position.
