It's definitely an interesting time in the markets.

I feel some tech stocks are cheap and some are way overpriced.

Additionally, with 5% money market available I would think there would be a larger flight to safety out of stocks.

Personally, I think we are facing another drop past the prior low. Then the markets will be higher than current levels 12 months from now.

The only way to make money this year was to be in cash or short something (market, single stock, puts). Technically I guess you could have sold options

Also, most retail traders are conditioned to buy vs short.

Plus, It's also easy to buy anything and look like a hero when the market is going up.

When it's going down, you need to know when to short and then when to get out.
