Is it feasible to hold a short position on a stock for 25 years?
You could even weight the index ratios by how self-cannibalizing you believe each company will be.
Requires a broker that does fractional shares or a lot of money, though.
Shorting a stock for that long would be a recipe for disaster, at some point it's going to go up and you're going to lose it all. Remember when you buy long your positive upside is infinite and your downside limited to 100%, when you short it's the opposite.
As they say, you’ve gotta be careful. The market can stay crazy longer than you can stay solvent.
