Phimx mentioned last week about betting against QBT, I looked it up..
Betting against a stock, known as "short selling" or "going short," is a trading strategy used to profit when a share's price declines. You borrow shares from your broker, sell them immediately at the current market price, and hope to buy them back later at a lower price to return to the lender.
It also says
Key Risks to Keep in MindUnlimited Risk: When you buy a stock, the most you can lose is \(100\%\) of your investment. When you short sell, there is no limit to how high a stock price can climb, meaning your potential losses can theoretically be infinite.Short Squeezes: If a heavily shorted stock suddenly surges in price, short sellers may panic-buy to close their positions to stop the bleeding, driving the stock price even higher.Borrowing Costs: You are required to pay interest, fees, and dividends to the broker while you hold a short position, which eats into your returns
Now yesterday there were 2 x 8m buys which pushed the share price up, followed swiftly by a couple of sells 2m, 500k etc, those sells would only be creating a loss as it’s the lowest point since placing and before looking at chart, hence the comment I made.
If Phimx and the other accounts using the same tactics are betting against the market, (Phimx said he was) the above information I posted would suggest that any rise would need to be curtailed as it looks very dangerous.
This would explain why Phimx etc has tried to post fake pictures and tell lies, UserSteve was caught out lying about the Patent.
That’s twice in as many weeks Phimx has let the cat out the bag, admitting QBT will have a significant rise on news and betting against at the moment. Makes it easy to read his game.
