I'm guessing no by all the whining about the short term drops.

This current market is making for 2 wonderful opportunities:

1. Short the volatility, and take advantage of it. If you don't know what the SPXS or SQQQ are then do some research.

2. Dollar Cost Average as the market goes down. As I have been making money hand over fist shorting I am also DCAing into companies that are solid.

Instead of whining about temporary pain, learn how to actually invest and play the market.

You mean like really short by borrowing shares, selling them to drive the demand and value down and then repurchasing? That’s big connections and money.

If you mean watching for shorts and jumping in, that’s fun but even in this market, may be tricky.

If a stimulus (free money) comes again, I’m all in for the next ‘short the shorters’ dumb money action. That was an absolute blast. For the record, I’m not for this - it drives a massive amount of inflation and I never qualify anyway.

Shorts as put options, shorting as buying inverse etfs like SPXS and SQQQ

If you aren’t hitting 100x leverage on binance, are you even investing?

Not sure who you use for brokerage, but the ability to short stocks in a margin account is easily accessible.

Clearly you dont know the difference between a long term portfolio and one for day trading. Stay clueless.

Investors don't day trade. I think you should brush up on your terminology.

I'm sure you always buy high and sell low
