Billionaire investor Leon Cooperman said he's short the S & P 500 above 6,400, though he expects the index will fall short of those levels and be down in 2025.
"I am short the S & P above 6400, and I don't think we get there, and I think the market is down next year," Cooperman said Wednesday on CNBC's " Squawk Box ."
The Dow Jones Industrial Average hit an all-time high shortly after trading opened, and the S & P 500 briefly topped the 5,900 threshold.
The S & P 500 closed Tuesday's session at 5,782.76.
"I'm not short anything, but my inclination would be to sell stocks on strength," Cooperman said.
