One of the most common misconceptions in trading is that you can only make money when stocks go up ...
So what do you do when the market’s going down?
Enter short selling: a way to profit from declining stocks.* When you short sell, you're betting against scams.
Shorting isn’t the easiest strategy for newbie traders. It can be tough to master, especially during a bull market.
It can be easier in a bear market — that’s when most stocks are dropping and there may be more pump and dumps.
Your brokerage account and account size can also make it difficult to borrow shares on short opportunities.
If your broker doesn’t have the shares to short, you can waste time chasing a stock and missing other opportunities.
While shorting can be an effective strategy, it's time dependent. Remember the famous quote: “The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.”
Preparation is key here — just like everything else in the market.
Doing the proper research can help you with this strategy. You need to thoroughly understand exactly what you’re getting into.
Do you short sell? What’s your favorite pattern to trade? Leave a comment below and let me know!
