Shorting is a losing strategy though since markets go up over time, unless you can reliably outsmart the market, something most people can’t do in their free time. You can make money in a down market by rebalancing into cheap stocks though. Totally agree long term shorting is not a good strategy, however the question was posed directly to day trading where a significant amount of money can be made on the short side.

You can make as much, if not more, when the stock market goes down once you understand shorting. I by no means have a full understanding of how everything works but I am separated my investing (non-work related) into 3 sections. Long stock investments (buying and holding certain stocks for dividend payment and long time growth), Short stocks (watching trends and researching for stocks that I feel are on a downtrend and shorting), and options (this one is completely new to me and I am just starting to dabble in it)

A barrel of oil is now cheaper than a meal at McDonald's. WTI down over 30% today.
