Nasdaq 100 is being shorted, and the mother and market crashes could be coming. You need to watch this video, follow so you do. Bears pile into Nasdaq futures as shorts hit a record. Oh my god, my money, my investments, my future, my retirement! They're all in. What's gonna happen? Should I sell everything and buy it back late? Shut up! Calm down. My four you page tonight has been video after video after video of guru or even just random people making, 'Oh no, oh no, crashes coming. What are I'll tell you do. Up. Calm down. Ignore it, tune out the noise. Pretend you were the best investors. This. And this not watching social and they're not reacting to every negative headline and every video. Calm down. First of all, Wall St. short selling, Nasdaq equals freak out? Short selling equals selling shares you don't own with the goal of buying back lower. We just came off of a few weeks of big earnings. In the last month, Meta 14%, Amazon 5%, Palantir 28%, Google 5%, Microsoft 3%. Shorting is usually a quick trade. We don't know when these short sales were placed, but that could already be exiting. Shorting is not a crash. Shorting can be a size bet on short-term negativity due to Iran, inflation, interest rates, etc. What is short selling? It is when that you do. They're borrowed against your brokerage with the hope of buying them back lower price. Short selling is essentially the opposite of buying a stock, right? So if the stock was and I bought 100 shares and it goes and I sell, I've made $10 per share on my investment. Opposite. I sell fifty and I buy them back when to 40. The difference. The problem is if it doesn't go down to 40 and instead it goes up to 90 or 100, I'm screwed. This is called a short squeeze. And you're forced to cover it price. Bad for short sellers. People on social media love to root against the short sellers and pray for a short squeeze. The financial institutions. But why would you short a stock? Well, first of shorting is usually a very quick trade. So these videos that say, oh, the US economy and they're expecting this humongous mother of all recessions. You need to understand that people who are shorting stocks aren't in these positions for a year or five years. They're in them for weeks, maybe a month, maybe even just a couple days. Don't know when were placed. Been about a which means that maybe they're exiting their positions now and taking a or maybe a loss. See, what happened recently off of a few weeks of really big corporate earnings. Basically every major tech company reported last few weeks. You can see of these companies, of Palantir, actually went down. Which means that if they shorted those stocks and the stock is down 14% or even 3%, they might be taking their money out and exiting their short sales. The sale is the short is be done for. But most of all, shorting does not guarantee a crash is coming. Shorting a stock as a hedge on your long-term investments. You still are bullish long term on maybe some here, and you're owning plan of holding them for years, if not decades. But short term, you're looking around, you're looking at stuff like Iran, inflation, the interest rates, hmm, there could be some short-term volatility that brings the markets down. I'm going to short some stocks. Basically betting against the markets short term. But they could already be out by the time article. And they're laughing because you're making these reaction videos on TikTok could have already happened. Already be over. The trade could already be over. And now you're, what do I sell everything? I do? Doesn't really matter. Doesn't affect you, doesn't affect me. Who cares? Just focus on the long term. All here. You're not a trader, you're not a hedge fund? Financial institution. Don't worry about these short-term quick trades. They really won't affect you long term.
