Usually not, because shorting a broad chunk of market is very hard. "Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent".


or you could sell a single broad market etf lol. or buy a short etf.. it hasn't been hard to selectively exposure yourself to dang near any slice of equities since the ETF boom
