Does anyone know of ETF containing the most shorted stocks that is updated in real time? Could be a less risky way to get 50+ % gains this month and avoid a single bubble if this Reddit short squeeze contest lasts a bit longer.

The one referenced in the article rose 50%.
I get it that it’s probably not wise to bet on these “loosing” companies and its kind of counter intuitive to buy into an ETF that has 10 losers and 1 winner. But tbh rite now crazy crazy things are happening. GameStop alone probably carried that particular etf to 50% gains. I have no idea of the ticker or the number of companies in the etf, but I feel that if you can invest into something with about 5-10 of these then likely the next GME will be in it and for the short term it will go up.
No idea about hitting on a single GME. That would obviously be big to hit the next bubble at the bottom and pull out before it pops but highly unlikely.
Just a thought, and maybe the logic is terrible l, but according to the article that mentioned etf was up 50% recently

PNIS is the ticker you're looking for.

Look at JDST.. granted its an inverse performance ETF but it basically went to zero then there was a reverse split so it doesnt appear to have done that but there was and remains risk of this and others to repeat. Also Their price does not correlate exactly.

Wait, so you're looking for a basket of stocks to invest in that are highly likely to go down and/or bankrupt?

That's why you invest in PNIS. Low gain, hard reward.

It can go up or down, though, sometimes for no reason whatsoever. That's why it's always a good idea to be long PNIS.

Ok maybe an over the counter ETF is not the best example for what im trying to say, but i think rite now would be the time to essentially “make your own etf” consisting of 3-4 of these hyped up Reddit stocks. (Basically buy a bit of each rather than going all in on GME)
I certainly think that if you right now put $100 each into GME, AMC, PENNYs, BB, etc that are all seeing 100% daily gains that you would be better off than just throwing $500 into a single one and trying to time the GME bubble.
Probably a stupid idea but Im really just curious what ETF was referenced in the article that gained 50%. I want to look into it to see what it consists of and how it gained 50% to get a better grasp of whats really going on with these “Reddit stocks”
