Apologies to the ShortsIf you sold short then you need to live with the trade, sorry for your luck today however you should have known the risk with that.
Try this rule:
Never make a trade you might later regret.
Holding long limits your risk to the dollars you put in play. Risk is entirely manageable by limiting your budget to something you deem as reasonable and not stressful. You can even break the buys up into multiple / smaller trades going in as well as multiple / smaller trades going out
When you sell short and the market starts setting higher prices... Well you find yourself a canoe, a creek... And start paddling...
How PG is that for ya !!?? :)
