I realise something.
As far as animal spirits are concerned, there are two of particular significance for traders: bulls and bears.
Taking a look over the past trades I get the distinct impression that going short is the way I make money.
Is suspect I am a bear. Probably not a perma-bear, but I tend to be more successful and enjoy more, watching the market crash and burn.
It could be a consequence of having the ability to short a falling market. With the news wailing about the falls in stocks, trillions of dollars lost... problem is, it isn't really lost. Someone gets it. Although that too is a somewhat simplistic view. I don't have a firm enough understanding of where the money goes to explain it yet.
