2865479 : hedging is a good way to drag your account down on a green day...you need to just hold and not be scared...leaveraged is garbage too just buy the stock

Nidia_Girl 2865479 : it depends on your strategy and portfolio size , you can leverage 100$ long vs 200$ short .. Their is many tactics Hedge funds use

2865479 Nidia_Girl : I'd rather just put the 300 on it not be a coward. hold long and don't sell. if it goes down you hold long and don't sell eventually it rebounds. hedge funds have billions to play with. a young person with small account I would go all in tqqq right now and go through a correction with no hedge before going short . I'd be very surprised if someone doesn't take a beating on inversed etfs vs just investing long holding not doing anything but buying more stocks freely. playing little games you will lose more than simply holding long on a good ticker

Nidia_Girl 2865479 : congratulations if this works for you , and I respect your strategy .. Everyone has a different mindset and different  risk tolerance , I sometimes hedge and sometimes I do go in but it depends on what I see

TinkerB3ll OP : Great to have such healthy and hearty chat and good to have different strategy too. What most importantly is everyone gain in this stock market and sharing and caring is definitely a must in this community hope you guys are killing it
