Thanks for the input. Despite not being into stock investing, you've got really great insights.
Though I’m not sure this is true in this period of easy money, for most shorts there is a long. Too bad in retail it’s the same name over and over.

Example: If you're short 20% volatile oil stocks and a missile hits Saudi Arabia oil production, you're exposed to too much risk. But if you have 15% safer oil stocks, it should work out okay. For retail I didn't want to go long anything so I'm just short 5% Bed Bath.

So long as you know a single hot product can juice bbb earnings as much as an Iranian drone can jack up the price of oil, go for it.

The reason I got into short selling is I wanted to be able to add leverage on the long side. I don't really mind the sector variance except for oil - there are so many great oil shorts that I wanted to have more. The key is not having more than, say, 5-10% short a single sector
