How do I short the US government?
- marblar 11y agoTreasury bonds?
- PhantomGremlin 11y agoGood one! As I'm sure you know, good fucking luck shorting Treasuries. They've been in a 35 year long bull market. As Keynes noted oh so long ago, "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."
- etherael 11y agoIf you still believe in the core concept of a state, but just believe the US is a particularly bad one, invest in other governments with opposing, or non-aligned geopolitical / economic interests. Iran, Russia, Brazil, India, China (and/or corporate entities therein) are good places to start. If you believe the entire model is intrinsically flawed and doomed to eventual failure, cryptocurrencies if you're technologically optimistic, or precious metals if you're not.
