Joe Biden cracked a joke about this stock today. Didn't catch the punch line but the joke was about how fast it was sinking. Soon it will be too low to short.

Seems like shooting rats in a barrel. Unless it collapses before you cash out....
For a company with a market capitalization of over $10 billion at its peak and revenue of only $4 million…normally it would be a no brainer to short the stock ….however, to implement the short , you need to borrow the stock…if you are able to borrow the stock….the cost to borrow the stock is astronomical. The other thing you have to be mindful of …you might be subject to a short squeeze and be forced to buy back at an in opportune time. Great in theory, but difficult to do in practice.

yep with these meme stocks ...take profit when you can! don't be greedy
It is important to realize with this MEME stocks that it is completely irrelevant what the value of the stock is [ this one is obviously worth close to ZERO . ] Today the stock was up 15%. If you prefer to gamble on this instead of at the casino just make sure that you have cash to back you up and are not vulnerable to a margin call. The ride will be bumpy and the crazies may very well drive the stock to over $50 in a hurry.

so true

money management is the most important aspect of investing and trading

you should never risk more than 1% of your trading account on any given trade

today DJT finally broke the previous day high, which was $27.45

my order got triggered at $27.46 one penny above yesterday's high

stop loss is set at $22.56 if that gets triggered I will lose $4.90 per share

my take profit is at $32.36 if that gets hit I will sell half of my position and move my stop to break even

in that case this will be basically a risk free trade

unless of course they find something against the rules and DJT gets delisted on Friday

that's why you should never risk more than 1% of your trading account !

shorting this is not worth it even with risk management in place

much better to long and I'd argue more upside as we get closer to the election as i think trump will win

had to look it up

I thought that in the harami pattern the second candle had to be completely engulfed by the first candle

but "for harami all that is required is that the second real body be within the first real body,

even if the shadow of the the second day is above or below the prior day's high and low."

thanks !

also volume today was highest in more than 2 weeks
