It's selling stock you don't own hoping to replace it with a purchase when the asset is at a lower price. (You borrow shares to sell with the promise you'll replace them later.) In other words, profiting by depreciation in an asset's price rather than the traditional appreciation.
You may have figured from the previous comment already, but 'shorting' is a bet the company's stock will go lower in the future. And 'going long' is betting that the company's stock will rise in the future.
Both forms of hedging are what's called a 'margin'.
Oh yea, it's a classic Soros technique. The more investors pile on the more unstable the stock becomes. And then you can just ride that sucker like a 50 foot waterslide.
With buying stocks hoping they'd go up, the worse that can happen is that the price goes to zero (or near-zero). As I understand it, with shorting, however, there is no limit to how much you could lose. High stakes...
No shame, It's just the way things are. $0.30/rd 5.56 and $0.17 9mm is unfortunately an object of history now. Buy ammo when you can find and afford it because.
I have so much FOMO, but I can't logically dump a ton of money into Tesla. I know, I know, people have said the bubble will burst for years, but they have competition catching up--and they still don't turn a profit
No. I do not advocate for any illegal conduct or manipulation of the capital markets. All pedes should follow and abide by existing US codes on security trading and exchanges that GEOTUS has permitted during his Presidency.
Not only shorting TWTR but freaked a bankster out at Fidelity when I told him I was moving my entire 401K because they had 10% in FAGAT (FAANG) stocks.
Borrow money to trade/bet. Bet that a stock price will go down below the price of your bet.
In one example "1 PUTS $TWTR STRIKE $40"...
1 = 100 shares
PUTS = Sell
$TWTR = Twitter's ticker
STRIKE $40 = at $40
The option gives the option holder the right to sell Twitter at $40 a share.
The option has a price, say $1, then the option costs $100 ($1 x 100 shares)
The brokerage firm charges a fee to buy that option, say $0.75.
The total cost for the bet is $100.75.
If Twitter drops to $38/share, and the option holder chooses to exercise the option, his right to sell Twitter at $40 a share. If the option holder does not own any shares of Twitter, then the option holder will buy 100 shares of Twitter at $38, then sell at $40 using the right to sell at $40/share price point from the option.
Since the option holder buys Twitter at $38 a share, then sell (with the right purchased from the option) at $40 a share, the option holder makes $200 ($2 x 100 share).
$200 Gain - $100.75 Cost = $99.25 Net
This is the example of naked short, which is quite risky by conventional wisdom/opinion. But you get the gist.
I think they will need something else to happen to really go down but they probably aren't going up any time soon, one would have to be crazy to buy that.
So, an equally valid strategy might be to wait for the new stable level to appear and then do a spread on it or something.
Twitter has always been a rickety company based on their fundamentals and how it’s run. Their stock price doesn’t accurately reflect the health of the company IMO.
I don't know why they are all freaking out that the right left Twitter, isn't that what they wanted to get rid of us. Oh, they have nothing left to live for since we are not there for them to spew their hated at. you know they are going to follow us because they can't stand not knowing what we are up to, it gives their life meaning.
They're women, or feminized men raised by single mothers, and it's the same cycle no matter what.
Men create something, the thing works great. Women see that men are doing something and demand to be involved. They complain about things and demand changes. After enough changes are made they eventually demand to be given positions of influence and then take over while making even further changes that ruin the thing. Men move on because there's nothing worthwhile there and the women that are left alone further grind it into the ground to make sure no one else can ever use it. Repeat the cycle.
Just like women don't like it when men are alone to talk among themselves or to have something that they are not a part of, but demand to have their own groups and their own spaces, leftists embody the worst aspects of women. After all masculine republics give way to feminine democracies which give way to tyranny.
Just like women don't like it when men are alone to talk among themselves or to have something that they are not a part of, but demand to have their own groups and their own spaces, leftists embody the worst aspects of women
If you're an adult man and haven't realized this or seen it you've got a lot to learn.
I don't care if some of you think this guy is out of line, there's a lot of truth in what he's saying. He's not 100% (our problems include people raised by single moms, but they are far wider than that) but there is a red pill of truth in what he says.
Holy shit. You explained a crazy liberal that was friends with my core group. She went completely brainwashed and defriended all of us but still keeps in contact with one of my friend’s girlfriend. She constantly wants to know what we are up to behind the scenes but refused to talk to any of us.
Not really, what they actually wanted was to have us as a captive but silent audience forced to watch helplessly as they seized total control, total control is what they really want.
Look at what theyre doing now, trying to criminalize MAGA and eliminate all opposition, enacting unprecedented amounts of censorship, attempting to abolish the electoral college and all the other insanity.
Then you've got the biden/harris agenda to follow which includes such grand ideas like citizenship for millions of illegals, tearing down the border wall, printing an additional 10 trillion dollars, more lockdowns and sooo much more absurd bullshiy to follow
We won't be censored by the Twitter safe-space editorial team. If we had any ability to fight back, they wouldn't be able to get away with what they do. I welcome them on Gab, I can't wait to fight them off.
We desperately need an independant app store for now. We'll probably wind up building an entire parallel internet, hell we might see completely parallel economies before this insanity ends.
Heard someone in another post mention using a VPN helped but haven't done that myself. I have tried different browsers and devices to no avail. It's just growing pains and hopefully they can meet the demand soon.
I just tried to log into Gab and got security failure, are you blocking cookies?
I'm not blocking anything, I had no problem getting in yesterday, any clue? Old lady pede has no clue what this means help!!!! Oh wait I just got in, strange.
For anyone thinking of signing up at Gab - I was able to sign up with a protonmail account while using proton VPN. Best to be anonymous when they start coming after you for your "free speech."
What are the chances they take me , a fellow pede, on as theyre expanding and let me ask a bunch questions to catch up on the last 15 years of programming so I can work there as a programmer? Not that I don't like my current trade, just worried my foot will start acting up again
I think its because they want to prevent that slippery slope that needing ad revenue to maintain the site is going to give them leverage over gab. Whereas being crowdfunded is much better
And it is almost impossible to use Gab because they are swamped with new users ... hope they grow from this.
right, first time I have ever been happy to see a laggy site (knowing they are working on it)
If you like the site, you should try their web browser. Adds a comments section to every webpage. People calling out the bullshit in the comments where the URL owner can't censor. it's fucking legit.
Christ, what a great idea.
It has a built in adblock, and gives you a handy reminder if you're trying to visit a site that sells your data. Really a fantastic browser
That is when I uninstalled Firefox after like 10 years loyalty. I didn't know Gab had their own browser though. At the time they didn't, so I switched to Brave.
I bet you google is having regrets on making chromium open source... I bet you they stop contributing to it.
Amazing!
So anyone here SHORTING Twitter?
Ok, I'm going to look stupid, but what is "shorting Twitter", please?
It's selling stock you don't own hoping to replace it with a purchase when the asset is at a lower price. (You borrow shares to sell with the promise you'll replace them later.) In other words, profiting by depreciation in an asset's price rather than the traditional appreciation.
Thank you!!
You may have figured from the previous comment already, but 'shorting' is a bet the company's stock will go lower in the future. And 'going long' is betting that the company's stock will rise in the future.
Both forms of hedging are what's called a 'margin'.
So by "shorting", do you also help Twitter Stocks go down too? Everyone wants to get in on the fun!
Oh yea, it's a classic Soros technique. The more investors pile on the more unstable the stock becomes. And then you can just ride that sucker like a 50 foot waterslide.
Yep, because you're selling it immediately
Zoiby wanna buy on margin.
Glad to help, and it's not a stupid question!
This guy stonks.
With buying stocks hoping they'd go up, the worse that can happen is that the price goes to zero (or near-zero). As I understand it, with shorting, however, there is no limit to how much you could lose. High stakes...
You can buy a put option instead, which limits your risk to the price of the option.
I have learned something. Thank you.
I shorted two weeks ago and covered today. Only made $600 but its something! Thanks Jack for buying me more 556!
You can afford to buy a vast 300 rounds with your earning. Seriously though 556 is probably worth more than my right nut at the moment.
I know. Better than 0 rounds.
Besides something about twitter shorting profits buying ammo has a special appeal to it.
No shame, It's just the way things are. $0.30/rd 5.56 and $0.17 9mm is unfortunately an object of history now. Buy ammo when you can find and afford it because.
You can buy a Gab Pro lifetime membership for $500.
Ha! Congratulations!! Now imagine if millions of investors do this to Twitter all week long....mmm.

On another note: watch “the Big short” — it’s a movie about the 2008 stock crash — nuts.
40 PUTS $TWTR STRIKE $40 EXP FEB 5th
20 PUTS $FB STRIKE $200 EXP FEB 5th
ELON WILL BOUNCE OVER TO GAB SOON, BRING THE PAIN! MAGA MONEY inbound!
I keep wondering how much higher TSLA can go, then I think about Elon announcing a Tesla phone.
I should buy more TSLA.
I have so much FOMO, but I can't logically dump a ton of money into Tesla. I know, I know, people have said the bubble will burst for years, but they have competition catching up--and they still don't turn a profit
He's also considering building a tesla cloud in TX to host anyone that bezos turns off lol. Gotta love libertarians
Savage...
Where is Softbank when we need it? /s
No. I do not advocate for any illegal conduct or manipulation of the capital markets. All pedes should follow and abide by existing US codes on security trading and exchanges that GEOTUS has permitted during his Presidency.
Not only shorting TWTR but freaked a bankster out at Fidelity when I told him I was moving my entire 401K because they had 10% in FAGAT (FAANG) stocks.
More like FAGGOT stocks
I would love to hear more of that story.
Only you control what you invest in. Don't blame the broker
Ive never been able to get my head around how shorting avtually works.
Borrow money to trade/bet. Bet that a stock price will go down below the price of your bet.
In one example "1 PUTS $TWTR STRIKE $40"...
1 = 100 shares
PUTS = Sell

This is the example of naked short, which is quite risky by conventional wisdom/opinion. But you get the gist.
Selling something you don't have . Squaring up later when the position closes
Example:
You 'borrow' a hundred shares, and sell them at $10
You now owe 100 shares
The stock price drops to $9
You buy 100 shares at $9
You return the shares and pocket $100, minus the borrowing fee
They're more dangerous than option puts, because they don't have a defined downside/risk (if the stock shoots up), so you have to be more disciplined
Simple breakdown:
So if price goes down you make money.
I think they will need something else to happen to really go down but they probably aren't going up any time soon, one would have to be crazy to buy that.
So, an equally valid strategy might be to wait for the new stable level to appear and then do a spread on it or something.
Twitter has always been a rickety company based on their fundamentals and how it’s run. Their stock price doesn’t accurately reflect the health of the company IMO.
Few stock prices do right now.
I always liked them. Can't wait to use them when their servers aren't melting.
I haven't been able to get on at all today. Get those new servers online.
Hope they figure it out because sadly it’s unusable right now.
I don't know why they are all freaking out that the right left Twitter, isn't that what they wanted to get rid of us. Oh, they have nothing left to live for since we are not there for them to spew their hated at. you know they are going to follow us because they can't stand not knowing what we are up to, it gives their life meaning.
The same reason they said 'make your own Redditt' and DDOS us and come to harass us and make fake posts here constantly.
The same reason they attacked Parler and had it taken down.
They dont want us to have a voice unless they allow it.
They're women, or feminized men raised by single mothers, and it's the same cycle no matter what.
Men create something, the thing works great. Women see that men are doing something and demand to be involved. They complain about things and demand changes. After enough changes are made they eventually demand to be given positions of influence and then take over while making even further changes that ruin the thing.

After all masculine republics give way to feminine democracies which give way to tyranny.
Single mothers raising boys may be the worst possible thing to hit our culture. Women raising men? No.
If you're an adult man and haven't realized this or seen it you've got a lot to learn.
I don't care if some of you think this guy is out of line, there's a lot of truth in what he's saying. He's not 100% (our problems include people raised by single moms, but they are far wider than that) but there is a red pill of truth in what he says.
I read this in BAP's accent.
Precisely

Here's the problem with their plan:
We won't be censored by the Twitter safe-space editorial team. If we had any ability to fight back, they wouldn't be able to get away with what they do. I welcome them on Gab, I can't wait to fight them off.
Is their mascot really a frog?
Yes
Pepe is the mascot of a generation. I like it.
Yes
Yes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_9f-4Koivc
i fucking knew it when I saw that frog like a year ago or something it was gonna turn out to be kek.
Gab is pretty fantastic.
Gab’s IPO should be a real screamer...
I kind of hope they never do an IPO. At their ratebof growth it is only a matter of time before their founder bends the knee or gets suicided.
Enjoy the ride!
Reminds me of the flight from digg.com to reddit.
They opened up stock investment years ago, they just aren't publicly traded. You can find their SEC financials filings on their site.
Gab is lit!
Rock is a great guy.
Lol are they buying the used twitter / Facebook servers 🤣😂
Hope they make sure to wipe them, like with a cloth or something before use, those servers are filled with leftist filth.
How come apps have to go through the fucking App Store? Why can’t gab allow me to download the app directly from them? I need a new phone.
I’m going to throw a few coins their way when I can get in and load a page or something. Love the energy.
Is there a GAB app?!
Gab.com only for now.
We desperately need an independant app store for now. We'll probably wind up building an entire parallel internet, hell we might see completely parallel economies before this insanity ends.
newp
banned from app stores
They could make an APK that you could download. Don't need an app store.
Heard someone in another post mention using a VPN helped but haven't done that myself. I have tried different browsers and devices to no avail. It's just growing pains and hopefully they can meet the demand soon.
Working for me with brave on android.
they are adding like a million users a day. And building their own infrastructure so Amazon cant ass fuck them.
I was there before the ban, it worked great
It is unusable.
This never ending GAB hype here has to be from Gab themselves, which is fine. However, GAB is completely worthless as of now.
I will check back in 30 days and maybe they will be sorted by then.
They were in this fight years ahead of the rest of us. The excitement is the fact we’re all waking up to what they’ve been going through.
Their servers are experiencing loads they cant possibly accomodate, still ive been able to use the site on mobile it just loads very slowly.
Check back every couple of days, theyre basivally absorbing huge swaths of the internet population right now, be patient.
Still get the white page of death via mobile.....hurry up Plz
is it working?
they are working on making it be working....
You're not shilling for GAB are you?
I'm interested in trying gab but I get a timeout every time I try and get in at my end.
I used to use it. Now I just try and use it.
It is cool. I am thinking of posting normie nonpolitical stuff once the DDOS subscriber bump ends.
Try late at night or early a.m.
their logo is a frog? opens gab with pede intent
They think they own twitter. Its their religion with that high preist guy maddow from msnbc serving mass each day as they kiss his ring.
Heh. Maddow's a guy.
I got that FOMO because I cant see anything but the first 10 gabs on their homepage.
As we've seen here, there is no reason to believe that lefties will be content to sit on Twitter without us...
Gab is bsck up now.
JOINED! 3rd Time (try) was the Charm.. All signed Up - Was eazy peazy Too..
Leftists loved sarcastically telling conservatives to go make our own platforms, until we did.
They were down for s couple of days and it's still slow as 🔥.
Don't give up.
I got on long enough to make an account. That's about it.
I made an account and browsed the_donald and welovetrump groups for about an hour at 4:00 a.m.
SWEEEEEET
I just tried to log into Gab and got security failure, are you blocking cookies?
I'm not blocking anything, I had no problem getting in yesterday, any clue? Old lady pede has no clue what this means help!!!! Oh wait I just got in, strange.
Of course, now... Pelosi and the idiot Dems will probably impeach President Trump for trying to manipulate Twitter's stock to try to destroy them.
We need to donate what we can to Gab to keep it going. They are not begging yet but I want it to not get to that point.
3am works perfect for me and fast in cali
That's when I was able to get in too.
For anyone thinking of signing up at Gab - I was able to sign up with a protonmail account while using proton VPN. Best to be anonymous when they start coming after you for your "free speech."
What are the chances they take me , a fellow pede, on as theyre expanding and let me ask a bunch questions to catch up on the last 15 years of programming so I can work there as a programmer? Not that I don't like my current trade, just worried my foot will start acting up again
Awesome!!
Would be fun to see Gab take half, or more, of Twatter's users. "Hey, there's no proof of widespread user theft!!" LOL
Damn I can't get it to work.
Is this where everyone is going ? I want to make a account on a platform but not sure which one
I'm on that lorry.
I still can't log in :(
Y’all got any good profiles to follow on Gab? Fuck it I’ll even follow you guys (I’m @ThunderThighs)
Styxhexenhammer666 whatever your opinion of him he is one of the biggest names on alt tech, you can find a lot of great stuff anf people through him.
Love Styx, he’s a filthy satanist but he’s our filthy satanist
@kcvzq @peplivesmatter @somebitchiknow @codemonkey @IPOT1776
Gab is literally impossible to use currently.
I don't know why Gab doesn't want to put ads. I think they should. They should need a manual approval of ads to run on the platform.
I think its because they want to prevent that slippery slope that needing ad revenue to maintain the site is going to give them leverage over gab. Whereas being crowdfunded is much better
Haven’t been able to login for a few days and I’m totally fine with it. Shows how big they’re getting!
Netwrks wants to be best friends with gab, since we’re basically the only two platforms that are self sufficient.
Except, netwrks is even less reliant on big tech than gab....
Sign up for the beta! https://netwrks.io/beta
I have been trying to sign up all day but I cant even get to the main page without an error message!
How can i get the app?
THE SPIRIT OF KEK WILLS IT!!
Love that truck Pede... I know its glorious how triggered Soy Dorsey et al are by Gab's rise!
LOL!! The site is still running slow, glad to see them give Twatter and Fuckface the middle finger.
clouthub.com is a facebook replacement. I think.
As is minds.com
twitter replacement for sure
every digital technology is a more perfect dictatorship
"trust us" they all say "its free!"
what it is is only a matter of time
I cant even complete the new user process. It times out
