"Who wears short shorts?"Tesla up almost another 5%. clown market
When I bought back in a few weeks ago I used the profits from my previous NVDA sale. I have an effective cost basis of $0.Also nvidia up 8%!
So, a 20% gain in two weeks. Wish I bought more, but that's the story of my life.Glad I swooped in at 200 on that a few weeks ago.
I finally figured out I need to not short it (for a few days anyway). $1,500 simulated profits (on 100k) in 31 minutes today. Yeah, I had to divorce fundamentals from technicals, because technically, it keeps getting stronger. Been trying to short it since it was 700 a few weeks ago.
The reason why I've had problems with day trading it, is that if you get confirmation of a short signal, it reverses quicker than you can react.
No more trading for me for the day, not one losing trade. Not doing real trades, I'm all in on investments and swing trades.
Scalping seems to always work better for me.

No you should have put it all in DWAC.
Down bigly today, is this just a meme stock that's being dumped or is there more life in this you think?
Mike Santoli on CNBC said its being pushed up by tons of bullish call options, but they expire on Friday. Might be an opportunity to short.I am still a firm believer that Tesla is retardedly over valued, and yet, a true short position is to risky of a play right now; however, puts out to end of 1st quarter to beginning of second quarter are viable. I fully expect the Hertz hype to die off by then, and should return to sub $800 and may even go lower. Hell, Tesla won't even be able to fill the order with the chip shortage.
Just my 2c...

Go back, re-read my posts, I said it was bad for shorting for now. Hell, I stopped trading today, but its fallen 50 a share in the last 30 minutes. Whenever these companies go parabolic, its more like are fattening them up for the kill.FWIW, you've lamented several times in the past week that shorting TSLA is a bad idea.

See what happens when you give up, every god damn time. Also gotta love that stability for a trillion dollar company. One second it jumps up 5%, next its down 1%.Man, someone is getting paid shorting TSLA today. I don't trade this late in the day (normally).

It's beginning to look like none of the analysts bothered to factor in the supply chain fiasco into the earnings estimates. I would expect every company that depends on supply chains (non tech software companies) to miss estimates. It could be ugly and at the same time present long term buying opportunities. Keep an eye on backlogs. That will tell you the amount of orders they have pent up.
