What I don’t understand is, on one hand we are told the stock market will crash and yet on the other we are told ways of investing in the stock market. Oxymoron or paradox?

[@michaelwiebeck3]

People employ various tactics to capitalize on market fluctuations, whether it's experiencing an upswing or downturn.

[@Derekhoffman312]

While keeping your portfolio allocations balanced, de-risk your investments, support your core holdings, and take some gains. Even managed portfolios don't always perform as well as I would advise, so it's essential to get the advice of a qualified fiduciary; my spouse and I find that this works for us. Net of dividends, we have had over 80% capital growth.

[@420G20]

lol, I’ve only seen up to 50sec, but to me it appears that he made a naked short sale with a possibly competing/pharmaceutical company already seems a bit dodgy/suspect…anyway will watch the rest. Fkn Vlad with his 100 clips before he posts the real thing. He really lives up to the stereotype

[@420G20]

Ok so I listened to the rest and honestly I kinda liked Martin Shrekli before but he is a bit manipulative. He saw a dodgy edge, but Renaissance were shrewder than him. He makes it out they done something bad, while they didn’t and he did (naked short selling with the bank)

[@420G20]

03:15 lol trying to change the subject, even his body language says it a couple sec later

[@CKpremium1992]

He never explained what naked Shorting is nor did he explain what regular shorting is so he can’t be wrong.. and the conversation was about regular shorting and Shreklis modified short not naked shorting either.. all he said was it’s dangerous because you can only lose your premium in a long vs your losses can be astronomical in a short if the trade goes against you which is true..

[@JEGlobalConcepts]

If vlad would shut up and listen people could learn something

[@MindStrokeTV]

🔴 VLAD was literally wrong about everything he said about shorting a stock. For you novices, don’t listen to this. It’s done every day. It’s painful to listen to him talk about stock trading. He was NEVER a day trader. He puts his money in ETF’s and a few individual stocks and that’s it. NOTHING GENIUS ABOUT THAT.

[@tritosac]

Novices should not be shorting stocks. Generally, the only successful traders shorting stocks have been doing it for a long time. Even they have losses. His message is to everyday people who shouldn't jump into speculative trades when they have no idea what they are doing.

One lesson I've learnt from billionaires is to always put your money to work, and diversifying your investments. I'm planning to invest about $200k of my savings in stocks this year, and I hope I make profits.

[@Nernst96]

You are right. The best approach I feel is to diversify investments- by spreading investments across different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.

[@PatrickLloyd-]

That makes sense. I’ve been using a financial market expert for two years now and I own a six-figure diversified portfolio from investing in stocks. I want to diversify more this year, though.

[@BillyOceanSmokin]

Correct me if I'm wrong but you can put a "put" on the stock you short so if it doesn't go the way your short was you can cut your loses at a certain number🎯

[@JumaaneRay]

Correct but that's a derivative contract with different metrics that could be working against you daily like time decay and if you don't understand how to trade those instruments you could and loss a lot of capital too. Most shorts use a combination of actual short shares and options to hedge out some of the risk.

[@musak.4068]

Wrong. You would only take additional losses to the cost of that put option. 1. Options exist as a way to hedge your stock portfolio. 2. Options come in 2 flavors: Calls & Puts. 3. Calls = buyer/holder (holder because they are a contract that the buyer is holding onto) believes the underlying stock price will rise. 4. PUTS = buyer/holder believes the underlying stock price will fall. So if you had BOUGHT shares of Apple (AAPL) and you were nervous that over the next month the stock price would fall. You would hedge your AAPL shares via buying a PUT contract. This way IF IF IF the share price does fall, your PUT contract will raise in value. Then you can sell that contract (it will always sell under normal circumstances just hit the sell button) and you'll recoup a lot of the current value your AAPL shares had lost. *We like to gamble in America.* So eventually we started using options as SPECULATIVE plays. Think of the people who side bet about who's gonna win at the dice game. That's dangerous though. In 2021 I made a million dollars buying calls on $SPRT. I got in a month before the short squeeze. But that's rare. I have also lost six figures in speculative plays.

[@geoffl]

does renaissance have to disclose? How did he know they took the other side?

[@deez994]

release the full video....

[@undyingtome]

So could shorting a company put it out of business entirely?

[@realtalk6195]

If it does then the company never had legs to stand on and got caught. Whether a company continues to exists should never depend on its stock price. It should theoretically be based on its assets and revenue.

[@gamersquadlifestyle]

If the company is weak with weak management yes but normally shorting stocks can create a lot of uncertainty in a company especially within investors and if you loose an investor or fail to get more people to invest🤧 capital decreases then it begins to trickle down to the rest of the business and from that you can tell that the business won't go far but you also got to have deep pockets to create that kind of reasonable doubt by shorting and being able to threaten investor confidence

[@juanmonster6232]

If enough investors short it.... actually that is what several hedge funds were doing to GameStop, but basically people on reddit banded together and started actually buying shares...... and those hedge funds were caught with their pants down. Basically, don't hedge for a company to grow or fail.....just find good value stocks and buy and hold, based on if you feel the company is worth you investing in.......

[@KenLahne2]

Missed opportunity to ask... what did Renaissance know or thought they knew about the company he shorted? Did they buy all his shares with very specific insider information leading them to believe it would skyrocket?

even if it’s a cancer cure, there’s a thing called stop loss.

[@Siegefya]

There's a thing called margin call, there is a thing called account liquidation well before you go negative because for retail clients at least, your broker isn't gonna let you go negative. They keep an eye on who's using a lot of margin throughout the day, which shorting obviously has margin requirements, they'll liquidate you. But Vlad isn't technically wrong, and people have gone negative in short positions before.. it's rare, usually happens on a big fast move that can't be stopped out quickly enough.

A stop loss works if you a small individual investor. It doesn't work if you are short 30 million shares of a relatively illiquid stock
