shorting can be dangerous, do it with care.

TeslaSmurf OP : If you are a long term investor in Tesla you don’t short TSLA (for two reasons: because you can’t do it in the same account and because you don’t do it as a principle). This does not mean you can’t trade (buy and sell) your long term portfolio a few times a year when is convenient (I sold 2/3 of mine last year and now I am finishing buying them back at a much lower price, before the SPLIT announcement). At the same time you can day-trade too and use the dayly profits to reduce your buying price average and/or to buy more stocks.
The NEWS is that with this new inverse ETF you can profit (or just compensate if you hold a TSLA portfolio) when the stock price goes down: what I have been doing first shorting the VIXY then the TQQQ, but not so efficiently as they are not directly related to TSLA.
The new TSLQ inverse 3X ETF instead is directly based in the TSLA performance, so, when TSLA is on a downtrend you can trade TSLQ and profit without having to sell TSLA.
