In the most extreme case, say a 1929 plunge, is one a guaranteed winner if you are shorting the market prior to its plunge? From a theoretical point of view, if the market completely collapses to the point where there are zero bids, zero asks, then having a short position is meaningless. Correct? For you to cover your short position someone must be "buying" from you? Right? I realize this is a very extreme case, but I was curious about the psychological effect of the market right after a devastating collapse. Could it ever be so extreme, that literally no bid,ask exist and your short position means nothing, despite the market having having gone down? Chris,

I just learned of the Mamis book last month. I wonder why I missed it all these years in searches. Bill,
