I mean in general.
It’s not even debatable that the value of indexes increases over time. Plus investors also get dividends.
Shorters are basically picking the peanuts out of poo! And the gains are always finite.
Shorting just seems a lot of works for small gains.
No issue with people doing it but topically investors will make much more money.
Wow and you didn’t close out at 16 and now it’s 30.
Shorter guy how do win if the price goes up?
Only if you don’t have an open position and then short it from a higher SP. But what do you do if it continues to go up...
I bet a lot decided to short RR after the first 20% rise last week, that would have cost people a lot.
Boix,
It like you have divorced your wife and she has taken half your assets. The divorce is all down and she can’t take anymore but you keep going around to your old house to tell her how much you don’t like her. And you can’t stand the thought of someone else having a good time with her.
What you should be doing is forgetting about her and concentrating on finding a younger model who will make you happy.

That might be how the game works for you but most people just take a loss on the chin and move on.
They are more concerned on making more money on other investments.
It seems you have become all bitter about it and are still trying to validate your decision by trying to influence other people to do the same.
This bitterness will also cloud your judgment on other investments.
Like a say, that shows a real lack of character.
Yes and and the small Chinese loan would have very little influence compared to the much larger creditors!
Boix, you are taking crap, the assets would go to the highest bidde.
Why can’t you just accept your loss and move on?
It was a brave call, most people would respect that but coming back here and de-ramping now is really low.
Shows a real lack of personal character.
Yes exactly, he want able to protect his shares over other investors
I don’t find it strange, makes sense they could be invited to loan money to protect their investment, but they can’t ring fence their existing holding at the expense of other share holders.
Where did you read that Boix, please present the source of information?
Yes but their investment gets wiped out.
What you are trying to say is that their current holding would somehow be protected, this is completely false.
Have you gone short now boix?
Or are you still trying to convince yourself that you made the right decision?
Just be comfortable with it and move on man
But their large initial investment would have to get wiped out to buy it on the cheap.
And creditors will want the absolute maximum they can get for it so will also attract other offers.
Sorry it makes no sense they are investing to be there if it collapses.
Great, so the Chinese can lend them the money.
Fantastic news!
Why are the Chinese buying?
There must be safer investments they can make if they just wanted a quick return..
And if you really wish to be paid per post you are even more small time than I thought.
Apologies to the BB for all this back forth that hasn’t added any value whatsoever.
You study someone with your eyes not your mouth/keyboard.
Again, there you are worrying about someone else. It’s so bad I don’t think you even realise.
You are not fascinated in it, all your posts are directed at people. There is no money in that for you at all.
Or are you being paid per post, is that what you meant.
