...he has a $5 bet that the market will go up, versus a $1 bet it will go down...

--and it's all right there in the 13-F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission; nobody cares because the preferred belief is that the evil capitalist is out to get you.  That $1 bet he made on a falling S&P, it's no different from the bet we make with the life insurance salesman where we're so glad when he wins and we "lose".
