What's wrong with shorting?

Seriously. If the market truly is being rational and if it is SO obvious that you-know-who is going to destroy the country, why can't we all short?

I think there's a massive circlejerk going on here by people who are either uneducated or breaking the most important rule of investing - LEAVE YOUR EMOTIONS (yes, that includes political views) ASIDE!!!!

I personally wouldn't dare short the market, like I suppose many of you guys wouldn't, even though every other post is mentioning a 1929-esque depression incoming. This is because we all know the market is being emotional and not rational.

The proof here is that this political period is so insanely turbulent right now that NOBODY can predict what's going to happen. I strongly urge you all to just stay oit of the market for now
