Shorting or hedging against companies driving innovation and growth in the US stock markets is not a viable long-term strategy. Historical trends suggest that bear markets are relatively short-lived, and positive trends in the market indicate potential long-term growth for large firms and disruptive innovators. ETFs that bet against innovation and growth are likely to underperform their benchmarks in the long term. It is better to invest in stocks of innovative firms and funds tracking major indexes.
