I remember selling FB short at $ 20. I covered @ $ 25. It went to over $ 600+ !!
Short selling can be profitable; but it’s a dangerous game! Be careful out there. ❤
Being a stock specialist on the market floor is often considered ‘a license to print money.’ Then there are stories like ‘Home Depot.” During its IPO in the 1980s, the specialist-worth hundreds if millions of dollars- sold the surge short, looking to cover when
enthusiasm waned and the stock price dropped. The problem? The stock price never came back, and the specialist firm went bankrupt!!
Stay safe. ❤
Short selling isn’t gambling in reverse.
It’s a game built for sharks who understand risk better than most investors.
Yes, you can make money when stocks tank.
But the reason Wall Street loves it isn’t just profit – it’s power.
Big players use shorts to pressure companies, influence sentiment, and even trigger forced selling from other investors.
For everyday investors, it’s a dangerous game with unlimited downside.
For the pros, it’s another way to control the board.
Knowing it exists changes how you see market moves.
