 Hello there everyone and welcome this is Melissa Arma with Stock Swoosh and today I wanted to talk to you a little bit about shorting. I'm mainly short sometimes that will go long But I'm mostly short when I actively trade when I do day trades and again sometimes I'll go long But I prefer to short wide when selling comes in People panic, okay, and you can short then so as an active trader as a day trader as a retail trader You can short and again we're in environment right now particularly with this economy Particularly with this high inflation particularly with the fact and they're now discussing that maybe they will raise interest rates this year in 2024 or not lower rates at all this year in 2024 or even only lower rates once this year in 2024 we're in a time period where the markets very volatile and you absolutely have to know how to short you really should know How to do both directions again? I I go long if it's necessary if I find something I like that's a that's a bullish gap But I prefer to short because short moves happen fast and quick and big and that's why I like to do it I like to trade early in the morning get out But if you're someone that doesn't understand shorting you don't know how to short you have to learn how to do it You need to learn how to do it now because what if we go into recession? What if the market crashes what if they do raise interest rates this year? And then you're left with what second positions where you went along You're down money and you don't know how to short or even have your account set up to short You don't even know what to do is extremely important to understand both directions But you're really got to know how to short and I found that in teaching people for as long as I have for more than 10 years now That I've been teaching people my strategy on shorting so few people know how to short and Most traders do not short and you will have an edge if you short know how to short and know what to look for So again, I teach how to short in my class. It's called the Golden Gap course Email me and Melissa at the stockswish.com for upcoming dates. Have a great day everyone
