Jeez you guys have a lot of balls talking about day trading and shorting stocks.

I'm happy just buying things while they're low now and holding for a year or two. I just lost a few grand in one day on airlines, but the only day that matters is going to be June 2021 or whenever it's high enough to sell again.

Am I crazy to think that way?

No, you're investing, which is probably a lot more profitable in the long run than speculating. My comments about options are because if I was actually as confident as Muffin's posts sounded, I would buy put options. But if someone really had that level of confidence, it wouldn't be speculating, more like picking up money.
