I am of the opinion that everything is market-based now. Thanks to
modern society, I can see gasoline go up in price daily, fluctuating
on oil prices. Real estate is market based, no firm prices there.
Health care? That is the next big thing that will be irking peoples of
the USA. Forget about jobs that go anywhere. We are looking at
massive containment of people for health benefits.
Keep in mind that when but buy a stock your losses are limited to
your investment but when you go short the losses have no limit.
and there's never any guarantee that you can sell.

Only part of the population. Most are healthy enough so they can ignore it except for the hypocondriacs.

No they cant. Restaurants dont work too well over in india if you happen to be in the US.

Wanna that one again in english ?
Ok, except the short exchange traded funds are something you go long
on. Buy one at $50/share and if market goes down, that $50 goes up. If
market goes up, that $50 goes down to zero, maybe. Most to lose is $50
per share. If you short Google at $500 share and let the stock go up
past $550, you are in the red for over $50. This is the beauty of
short ETFs.
You could have put in a protective order to close out the position if the stock
went up to much.
Also use Zecco and forget about a human broker.
