Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

So i should have bought the dip
Puts on the US. Massive bull trap ahead 🫡
I don't think I've ever had the money to invest anything but what's a 'put' in contrast to a 'short'?
A short is based on borrowed stock, basically you borrow a bunch of shares from someone for and sell them for money, with a promise to return them later. If it goes down, that means when you rebuy it to return it's much cheaper and you can pocket the difference.
A put is a contract that you make with someone that says someone will buy a stock from you at a certain price if you decide to sell. The contract comes with an expiration date and a fee for you based off of calculated likelihood. The idea is, if the stock drops below that amount and then drops enough to cover the fee (the breakeven point), you invoke the contract and make a profit.
There is a lot more to it including reselling the contract etc. but frankly it's a glorified gambling hall for the most part unless you're in the know or have enough influence to move it yourself for specific tipping points.
