So you’re tired of always being long and want to short the market?

How do you do it without borrowing shares? Easily. You buy the appropriate vehicles long. Which is actually a bet that the market will go down. Let me explain. There are investment options that you can buy long that represent an investment that their benchmark will go down. Its the same results as shorting except with traditional shorting you are borrowing shares that you don’t own.

All of the inverse (short) funds, etfs, stock symbols have a counter part for going long.
