Is anybody short the market right now?

What's the best way to do that?

What is the least risky way to take that position? Buy gold? Options?

This is the first place I come for investment advice too.

Options spreads. But why short the market at all? Timing that shit is close to impossible. Let the bears take those risks, wait for a drop and go long.

What bet; and how to do it are two different things.

SPXS. I'll move some over soon. Not yet. Also hedging with Cannabis stocks.

HR, YK. Buying gold now is also stupid. When the market crashes everything crashes, including gold.

Wait for the crash then buy a leveraged gold account like NUGT. During the last crash that was by far my best performer as hard times lingered for a very long time and the dollar took a shit driving that account into the heavens.

When the market started its long climb I just put everything in a high yield mutual and made somewhere around 73% in an 18 month period. My TSP split between the C & S funds did extremely well during that time for that vehicle as well.

Right now is a terrible time to be in the market, IMO.
