QUOTE(Barricade @ Aug 1 2025, 04:34 PM) Shorted NVDA yesterday @ 185. Will close position tonight, hopefully drop more so can cover my holiday to Japan  Started a new position with LULU @ 200. Hopefully by year end can recover. Risky move for retail stock but I believe it's oversold. Failed. LULU drop another 20% today after poor guidance. š¤¦š»āāļø Ah well, life goes on.

QUOTE(poooky @ Sep 9 2025, 09:42 AM) Anyone know what to look for in financial statements for long term stocks? I just simply look on Yahoo finance see: 1. If current asset > current liabilities 2. If got net profit 3. If cash flow is positive 4. Got pay some dividends I was looking at things like JNJ, PG, KO, T, CVX, MA, MCD. All seems to be doing very well, more assets than liabilities, always profit 100s of m+, cash flow also 10 to 100s of m+ until I also don't what I'm looking at. Anyone can point me in the right direction? I look at Free Cash Flow. Earning an be manipulated by accounting rules. FCF shows the actual cash available - which can invest in growth, share buyback, takeovers etc.

QUOTE(engineer @ Sep 17 2025, 03:16 PM) Good luck again! Rumor is that he will buy more in 3 tranches. To me, TSLA is nothing but a snake oil company with a narcissistic CEO. The rampant increase of BAIDU and BABA in my portfolio adds to my shorting power. If he really buy more, I short more.

QUOTE(engineer @ Sep 18 2025, 07:53 AM) Still holding the position? There's a slim window to escape last night. Rate cut might fuel the stock higher. Don't get me wrong, I'm not supporting Elon or Tesla, just curious what a short seller will do. The last time I heavily short TSLA was last year Dec, I remember I short around USD400 and it went up further around 15-20% if not mistaken. I held on my short position for a good 3-4 months and finally close around USD250. I have sufficient collateral, so I still sleep soundly at night. I believe Bill Gates hold on to his short position for TSLA even longer - a year or even more. How about you ChAOoz, curious how long have you held your short position for TSLA? To the one who have cold sweat, can't eat and sleep because of 1.44% change, better stick to ETF.

QUOTE(ChAOoz @ Sep 22 2025, 10:59 PM) Closed my tesla shorts. Open long aapl instead. Its been one week since elon buys news and if the momentum dont turn no point fighting against the current. Good for you. As Elon and TSLA hater, Iām not selling, will increase my short position if breach 500. YTD Iām up almost 70% now due to BAIDU and UNH so Iām comfortable to take some risk.

QUOTE(engineer @ Sep 25 2025, 07:25 AM) You can hate him but you don't have to put your money against him. That is illogical to me risking your savings against something that is really nothing significant to your live. My advice. Best wishes as Tesla is looking at $500 towards the end of the year. Donāt be naive thinking my short is because of my feeling towards TSLA. Iām shorting because I think this company is overpriced. Did you buy if youāre so confident that Tesla is going to reach $500 towards the end of the year?

QUOTE(engineer @ Sep 25 2025, 08:53 AM) First the bad news about the declining car sales is already baked into the stock price long ago. Second investors don't view Tesla to be just a car company. Anyway, good luck the stock price is going even higher in the overnight market now. Letās just agree that you do your thing and I do mine. Sounds like youāre obsessed with my short and Iām living in your head rent free. I never care less about otherās trade. If I listen to the noise of strangers, public or āWall Streetā I will still be holding dearly to NVDA and not trading it with BABA/BIDU - which double my investment this year itself. Even if I end up losing money on shorting TSLA, Iām ok with that because itās purely my trading decision and itās part of my calculated risk - rather than listening to āWall Streetā or forumers. Example of irrelevant public noise: BABA is up more than 100% YTD.  This post has been edited by Barricade: Sep 25 2025, 09:29 AM

QUOTE(engineer @ Sep 25 2025, 11:25 AM) How you know I didn't make more than the 100% in BABA when I move my capital else where? I have more than 10 stocks that have 100% and above. Sure.

QUOTE(Jukaicot @ Oct 14 2025, 12:31 AM) Aren't those risky š¬? My friend who enjoys shortingĀ crypto got burned sometime ago. Not really if you know the game and have the holding power. I hedge using call options for my shorts. Cannot compare equities with crypto la. Crypto investments is the one Iām holding forever cause I donāt really understand it. So I just buy and forget about it. This post has been edited by Barricade: Oct 14 2025, 07:37 AM
