- The post discusses shorting the S&P 500 using ETFs with limited risk. While not directly market-moving, it reflects bearish sentiment among retail investors concerned about overvaluation. Increased shorting activity, if widespread, could create downward pressure on the index, but the impact is likely limited given the small scale.
Question: And i hope i am not running afoul of mods. I know enough about investing but this i can’t find an answer for.
Say I think this market is way overvalued, and i have 10k and i want to short the market. I don’t want to short particular stocks, but i want to short S&P 500 or some index like that and i don’t want to short it for one day, i want to short it for next 3 to 6 months. And i want my total exposure and liability to be only the 10k that i invest. If i lose my money then 10k is all i lose.
Is there an ETF or other vehicle that allows one to do this?
