Ok. I don't think a value investor would see generally more or less opportunities than now. If the index/market is over bought then there will be less opportunities, and in a selloff, more opportunities. It's worth pointing out that vanguard at least do a Value tracker. I suppose theres discussion to be had over whether it's 'passive' but I guess it's included in these figures. Short selling tends to be a losers game, stocks go up more than they go down, so I wouldn't recommend that, but yes they aren't value stocks. but then my moneys in index funds, so what do I know.
