This mistake is all about timing and when you get into the trade – you are right but you still end up losing.
A Scenario to Avoid:
– Stocks (usually penny stocks) that have a supernova spike
– It is spiking incredibly high, but you enter short
– You’re looking for the decline to happen right away, but it keeps increasing
– You were right that it would decline, but it happened later than you expected so you take a loss
– Even though you were right, you still lose because your timing was off

OMG that one is so true! It was just waiting for me to get out to finally follow the way predicted… I could almost read the graphics spelling LOSER after that…
Well this wasnt confusing at all. I think my definition of what shorting a stock meant was completely wrong lol
hi, i love ur videos, , can we buy stock like facebook, google, like big compnies,,,,,?
Wait… now I'm super-confused.. One wouldn't lose money in this situation, right? Sure, one would lose out on a potentially greater profit, but your account wouldn't show digits in red so to speak, would they?
Very true!. Never trade against the trend!. Watched a handful of your videos and you`re amazing!. If i don`t subscribe now, i might miss out on something. So, subbing right away!.
So when you short a position you are forced to pay it back at a particular date or why can't you hold onto it until it fades back down? Do you have a video explaining what demands are put on a short?
By selling short, he borrowed shares from a broker sold at the current price. The hope is that stock plummets and he can reimburse his broker for the 100 shares at a lower price. EX. I short 100 shares for broker for $30 a piece and sell them to make $3000 but I owe my broker 100 shares. The stock goes down to $15 dollars, I want to buy 100 at $1500 and give them back so, in turn, I made $1500.
His problem is he had to sell his shares back at the high price because he called it too early. I bought and gave back 100 at $40 a piece so I lost $1000.
I thought you made money if it goes higher lol
