Why fear the decline? Why fear others short selling stocks?

You can either take quick actions and react quickly, or chase the rise and fall, or buy on dips with a planned and step-by-step approach, gradually building positions in batches, or short sell to hedge, or take a different approach.

The root cause is greed and fear, unable to overcome the weakness of human nature, being enslaved by money, lacking wisdom. Should not mingle in the USA securities market, but rather visit Las Vegas casinos or buy lottery tickets to gamble on wins and losses.

Fully betting on the rise and fall without any hedging funds or deep drop repurchase funds as a countermeasure.
