Then, by that same logic, we should start shorting gaming stocks because Vegas is going to shut down and all of those companies are going bust up. Then, we can short jewelry stores and car lots because trips to those are usually expensive. Why don't we ban ex-wives, while we're at it because, god knows, they're the most expensive yet useless item around.
