A zero-cost and low-risk method to short stocks
Tech giants have had a tough time lately. In particular, Tesla led the decline, and the stock price collapsed. Apple also fell below key support, forming a typical multi-top structure. The high at the end of last year will probably not be surpassed in the next two or three years. Shorting these stocks, on the other hand, would be a good way to hedge against risk.
However, how do you go short?
1. Shorting individual stocks means first borrowing shares from a brokerage firm and selling them, then buying and returning the shares in the future. This is one of the worst methods: no matter the risk of misjudging the direction and rolling. Let's just say that if you borrow stocks from a brokerage firm, you must not only pay interest, but also have a security deposit. I didn't do anything, and I just lost money, which is very uneconomical.
2. reverse etf. For example, this strange thing called TSLS, $Direxion Daily TSLA Bear 1X Shares(TSLS.US$ Or go directly to sqqq, fngd, etc. Whether leveraged or not, these ETFs themselves are not cheap to hold. For example, take a look at the closing price of QQQ yesterday, and find the day before that, the QQQ closing price was the same as yesterday. If you buy QQQ and haven't moved, you won't make a profit or loss. But if you compare the prices of sqqq and tqqq, you'll find that no matter which one you buy, you lose quite a bit. The longer it takes, the more you lose. This is loss. $Invesco QQQ Trust(QQQ.US$ $ProShares UltraPro QQQ ETF(TQQQ.US$ $ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ ETF(SQQQ.US$
3. Here's the point: if you are optimistic about the long-term development of a stock, such as TSLA, you think it can return to its all-time high of 400 yuan in five years, or Apple, the market value can break through $3 trillion in five years. The current price is definitely very cheap. I believe most of my friends have positions in these two stocks. However, it may continue to fall in the next month or two. Apple may drop to 100-110, and Tesla is likely to drop to 2 digits. So what do you do?
Use this method: borrow stocks from yourself and then go short. Imagine yourself as two people, one called me A and the other called me B. I think the current price is worth the long-term investment, so I shouldn't sell it. I think b should go short now. So B borrowed some stocks from me, sold them, waited until the price dropped, bought them, and gave me back a. After some operation, I continued to hold shares for a long time, and I also made money by speculating and shorting, and there were no handling fees throughout the process, and there were no risks to face when shorting the stock market. Even though it's all your own, you also need to settle the accounts clearly, don't pay back when you finish the loan![]()

高贵的阿德莱德 OP : I forgot to mention Microsoft![[undefined]](https://static.moomoo.com/nnq/emoji/static/image/default/default-black.png?imageMogr2/thumbnail/36x36 "undefined")
Microsoft is also currently at great risk, mainly because it faces companies rather than individuals, and there will be some lag behind. When small and medium-sized enterprises can't hold up, cut expenses, or even go bankrupt, Microsoft's financial reports will be difficult to read
