Go follow the 'What Are We Doing' Substack: https://whatarewedoingonthedesk.substack.com/ LIVE from the HOOD Summit in Houston: Dan Nathan hosts as the guys walk through the short seller's checklist: short interest, valuation, cost to borrow and, most importantly, a real catalyst. They explain why shorting is so much harder than it looks and how they manage risk by pressing into rallies and covering into weakness. Porter then morphed into a combination of Carter Worth and Steve Kornacki by pointing out technicals on the big screen while Vinnie and Danny argued about whether or not trading options is a decent alternative at times to trading stocks. Vinnie is right that most of the time the option market makers win (i.e. Ken Griffin). They hit a few single names like Fair Isaac (FICO), Carvana (CVNA), Tesla (TSLA), Upstart (UPST) Circle (CRCL) and Goldman Sachs (GS). They also discuss why owning gold as a way to express the debasement trade may beat trying to short the S&P 500. The session wraps with audience questions on meme stocks, stop losses and finding shorts in a market that only seems to go up. — FOLLOW US Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/riskreversalmedia/ Twitter: https://x.com/riskreversal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/riskreversalmedia #investing #stocks #stockmarket The financial opinions expressed in Risk Reversal content are for information purposes only.
