Longs can ride out cheap sharepriceIf you buy shares at one price and then the price drops below it you have a few options
1) Ride it out and wait for better days despite how long it takes
2) Average down your price per share by adding more shares to the current position
3) Take a hit and try you luck again later
If you went short on a stock (a bearish negative movement bet) and the price goes up you have the following options
1) Ride it out and wait for lower prices prior to buying back / covering the short
2) Add long shares to the short shares (hedge long in event of increasingly higher prices
3) Wait for a margin call from your broker who REALLY wants you to have one as that is how the broker makes money from shorts (did you really think they plan to lose?)
That's reality, not a pump, not a bash.. it's the reality of trading and rules we have to live by.
