I guess I can introduce stop-loss and other cautionary measures to prevent snowballing loss, but shorting is shorting.. Wonder if I could resist the urge.

Covid was a black swan event, so no one envisioned both the lockdown and Fed intervention. There is no way it was priced in.

On the other hand, Fed lowering rates has already been talked about for years. High probability it was priced in.

I actually think covid short circuited a correction that was overdue. Covid provided an excuse for irrational exuberance along with the stimulus.
