    All the opinions, political or otherwise this stock looks like it is trouble.
    Here is what I see.
    • three legs down
    • final leg, most recent was an overshoot
    • Volume was high on the overshoot. enough to neutralize the run up.
    Hence I conclude a couple of possibilities:

    • Bear: Another leg down to 120-140 area. Same as the last leg. This would require institutional selling. It would definitely overshoot.
    • Bull: That was the bottom, and the overshoot was the climax. This seems like wishful thinking and very low probability. It needs to base here, the general market to stabilize, or some positive fundamental news, like a Chinese car maker buying them etc.

    Conclusion for OP:
    Wait for a base here to form if you want to get a reasonable upside. You already missed the falling knife trade. That was on the overshoot., long and then sell here.

    Best possible trades:
    Short here for the next leg down.
    Long after the 4th leg down and a base is formed. Watch the volume. It has to climax
    Long on a couple screaming up days on high volume. Enter on the pull back.

    There you go. You got over a handful of clues. :D Best of luck.

    There are much better trades out there!

    Neither of us are sophisticated enough to trade options, we're only stock investors and traders.
    He kept harassing me in 2017 to buy TSLA at double digits. I finally got on the bandwagon in 2019.
    He's also the guy who harassed me to buy SPOT in late 2022 at double digits. I still haven't jumped in but now could be the opportunity.

    They actually believe these 2 stocks are going to skyrocket back to new highs along with the nasdaq .....very very funny because all of them will be very much disappointed when these 2 stocks are lower by end of the year...

    Tesla is going to break 200

    Nvda is headed below 75!!


    Ai is done with., Capex spending is going to plummet the next 18 months as nvda will actually see a decline in sales and revenue the next 2 years out. .

    Do not be surprised by both of these stocks losing half their values over the next 2 ton3 years. These aren't the same fomo stocks as they used to be.

    Party is over. Elon is bored with TSLA. When he is bored/distracted/stoned he moves on.

    Shorting the market means betting on the price of a stock, index, or asset declining. There are multiple ways to do this, depending on your strategy and risk tolerance.

    1. Short Selling Stocks (Traditional Shorting)
    • How It Works:
      • Borrow shares from a broker.
      • Sell them at the current market price.
      • If the price drops, buy them back at a lower price.
      • Return the borrowed shares to the broker and keep the difference as profit.
    • Risks:
      • Unlimited loss potential (if the stock price rises instead of falling).
      • Margin requirements and potential forced buy-ins if the stock rallies.
      • Interest costs on borrowed shares.
    2. Buying Inverse ETFs (Simpler Alternative)
    • How It Works:
      • Inverse ETFs rise when the market falls.
      • Examples:
        • SPXU (3x Short S&P 500)
        • SQQQ (3x Short Nasdaq)
        • SH (1x Short S&P 500)
    • Risks:
      • Daily rebalancing makes them less effective for long-term holds.
      • Can decay in value over time due to compounding.
    3. Buying Put Options (Limited Risk)
    • How It Works:
      • Buy a put option to profit from a price decline.
      • Example: Buy an SPY put if you expect the S&P 500 to drop.
    • Pros:
      • Limited risk (you only lose the premium paid).
      • Leverage allows larger exposure with less capital.
    • Cons:
      • Time decay (Theta) erodes option value.
      • Need to pick the right expiration date and strike price.
    4. Selling Futures Contracts (Shorting the Index)
    • How It Works:
      • Sell index futures like ES (S&P 500 E-mini) or NQ (Nasdaq E-mini).
      • If the index falls, you buy back at a lower price for profit.
    • Pros:
      • No borrowing fees or restrictions.
      • Highly liquid and efficient.
    • Cons:
      • Requires margin (leveraged exposure can lead to rapid losses).
      • Overnight gaps and forced liquidations can occur.
    5. Buying Inverse Options Spreads (Limited Risk)
    • Examples:
      • Bear Put Spread: Buy a put, sell a lower strike put (limits risk and cost).
      • Call Credit Spread: Sell a call, buy a higher strike call.
    • Pros:
      • Defined risk-reward structure.
      • Lower capital requirements.
    • Cons:
      • Profits are capped.
      • More complex than outright shorting.
    6. Shorting Volatility (For Advanced Traders)
    • VIX Futures & Options:
      • Betting that volatility will drop after a spike.
      • Short VXX, UVXY, or trade VIX options.
    • Pros:
      • Works well when markets stabilize after a panic.
    • Cons:
      • Highly unpredictable and can spike hard.
      • Contango decay can work against you.
    7. Using CFD Brokers (Outside U.S.)
    • How It Works:
      • Contracts for Difference (CFDs) allow traders to short assets with leverage.
      • Available for stocks, indices, forex, and commodities.
    • Risks:
      • Not available in the U.S.
      • High leverage increases risk.
    Which Method is Best for You?
    • Short selling stocks → If you have margin access and want direct exposure.
    • Put options → If you want limited risk and high leverage.
    • Inverse ETFs → If you prefer a simple way to bet against the market.
    • Futures trading → If you need fast execution with deep liquidity.
    • Option spreads → If you want a hedged, structured short position.


    but see sadly lazy asses won't do any of this or even read this.
