I don't know enough strategy to short for meaningful gains.

Don't get into shorting stocks. Buy long term puts instead.

Much safer and less risk

There's tons of stocks that are volatile enough for a 3.5% return during the coarse of a week if not a day.

For example TSLA just today opened at $897 .If you set a buy order at a 1% discount you could have picked it up at $888 and then set yourself up a standing sell order with a 3.5% swing at $919 and accomplished your goal.

As of right now the TSLA high /Low today is $881-$932 Thats actually a 5.7% swing today.

So my thinking is if you can make 201 trades and AVERAGE 3.5% assuming some will be less and some will be more , it will turn $1000 in to $1,000,000.

This sounds too easy. What am I missing other than stocks don't always go up. LOL

Could this be done in 3 years ?

I have a buddy that has done this with Tesla for a few years. He has made a ton of money doing it, Im sure he isnt the only one.

Its an expensive stock and risky if you ask me. He will spend about 40 thousand each time, then sell when it inevitably goes back up. So far, it always does.

My problem is thats its way over valued and my luck, everyone figures that out as soon as I buy it.

Out of curiosity, has he compared his own results to what it would have been like buying and holding in the same time period? It's not like it's been hard to make money off of TSLA these past few years.

I kind of wonder how much of the money in the "stock market" is really money that's invested in companies based on earnings and potential, and how much is gambling based on guessing investor psychology and market directions. All short selling is gambling, and I think all options are gambling. And I think a fair amount of stock volume is gambling. I'm not really a fan of that, recognizing that I've done a little bit of it myself over time.

It's also been a buy and holder's dream. Even with some fallback recently, I'm still up 700+ percent in 6 years.

I watched a video review of the truck and it does seem really nice. I like the fleet Management components built into fleetOS.

I just noticed this in the $50's. Wow, the hype didn't last long. It listed Nov. 10 around $100 went up to $175 a share and came back down quick. That's a heck of a roller coaster ride in less than 4 months.

Great day for me!

Tilray has a HUGE short interest. If this keeps moving up, it could pop!

This would be huge news. On my phone.

It seems like we have a lot of violently volatile days over the past couple of years. Pre-2020 a 1 percent change seemed kind of strong. Now it seems like 2 percent changes are not uncommon at all. I kind of wish things would settle down a little. I'm hoping this isn't the new reality.

My hypothesis would be a lot more people day trading, so you get more knee-jerk reactions.

DIS going to hit $175-$180 before you realize
