But why not go short? You are allowed to go short. Nobody will show up at your house and shoot you for going short. I don't get the mentality of always long. Sure, of you are investing always long makes sense to me, but you are gambling. You don't have to always bet on black. Red is right there.

Most are too risk averse for shorting regardless of economic conditions. There is risk of going into debt with shorting whereas you can’t go into debt with going long.
