"We are talking about actual investing, not mutual funds" haha

Correction also I need to make. If you "sell options" as in you are the "seller" "creator of the option contract" you can lose more than 100%

I really like the fact that your videos are always very long and informative. Have you ever thought of upgrading your camera? Your GoPro is still nice though!

[WilliamAndrews]

I think hedging a position isn't a very smart thing to do. You either win less or lose less, so why not invest less in the beginning? you will also win less or lose less but you save money on brokerage fees. Also the option is time restricted so you can't guarantee that you're covering the short sell and the option at the same time, so it's still possible to lose money on both investments. It's like betting 100$ on black and 10$ on red just in case. You might as well just bet 90$ on black. Less risk, less winnings, same result.

If short sellers to are usual at a professional level and sophisticated. Are you not concerned that GoPro has such a large short interest at 33MM shares?

Invests $5 through short selling, ends up owing $1.8 million.

[pfcjulius]

selling options are pretty dangerous also, but if you let the option expire ITM or don't have a stop loss in order to buy the option back, then you're just plain stupid.

Really Really Really want you to do "ALK". Wanting your opinion, would you buy it?

[TimZ]

Im not sure how dangerous short sales are. Yes it could be unlimited but stocks drop fast way more often then they go up. I would say if your shorting a 10$ plus stock thats been around for a while its not gonna shoot up by more than 25% in a day. Anyway one should have a trailing stop loss of some kind to sell in the event of a rise in price over your risk. ex 2-5% ??I would not short any kind of penny stocks unless you can get out fast or only risk a small percentage of your account.

Crud.

What about a begginer with the coming recession?

I want to capitalize on the coming recession which is why I am watching you daily.


What can I do?

[RealLifeMoney]

I learned about these dangerous things in college courses. We should really gain knowledge about any investment before actually investing in it.

[nyclatrader]

The two thumbs down are from short sellers of Gopro who are pissed the stock is having a good month lmao

[TonyTrupp]

In theory yes, but stocks go down a lot faster than they go up. Just keep an eye on it and close the trade if it goes up and breaks some predefined threshold.

[randal]

sellings calls seems really safe IF you have it covered. uncovered is scary for sure

[oganovdavid]

Jeremy was talking about short selling stock, before it became mainstream with GME

[terrym.]

Just started watching your videos yesterday and my notification is on, very informative... Also I have sent you a message on Twitter regarding some stocks options for me as a brand new investor

[ivanstoyanov]

I thought that when you buy on margin and price drops, the brokerage gives several margin calls and then they automatically close your position before if you've had a chance to lose their money

[flippingforreal]
