For small investors like me, shorting can be dangerous. The Big Short can become The Big Ouch.
When you short a stock,your maximum gain is capped but your losses can be infinite. If the stock rallies, you are forced to buy back at higher prices.
Shorting requires margin. If the trade moves against you, brokers can demand more collateral or liquidate your position often at the worst possible time.
The opposite of Michael Burry's Big Short? The Big Long.
While Burry bet against the system, I bet on its resilience. He saw collapse, I see conviction. He shorted chaos. I hold through clarity.
While Burry profited from shorting, I prospered through holding stocks long term.
Investing is a marathon, not a sprint. It is time in the market that counts, not timing the market.
