Haters can Short IMHO You can make money when a shareprice goes up and you can make money as the price falls, that's called short-selling. It's a high-risk trade that has no cap to the amount of money you can lose on the trade, in other words, you can put in a few hundred dollars and if the shareprice goes up too high you can lose everything you have, far-far exceeding the few hundred dollars you put in. Regular trading (trading Long) is done through buying shares with the expectation that the price will go UP.
Here's a link to explain it

If out haters think a short-trade would work due to today's news then I will hold the door open for them myself for them to take up a short position.
With the above said, bare in mind that those haters on stock forums may already have a short-position on the stock they are discussing and hense why they seem to post nothing but hateful comments and twist fact into negative fictions.
So Queen - you're saying you can lose your investment by short selling, but your 100% safe with regular investing?
Makes total sense coming from you.
But help me out - I don't know anything about shorting and you seem to be an expert:
If I short Hexo and borrow 1,000 shares at $9.00, I hope the sp falls to $7.00 - at which time I buy 1,000 shares at $7.00 - and repay the 1,000 I borrowed at $9.00, pocketing the $2,000 profit?
Correct? (whereas the 'regular' investor loses $2,000)
BUT if the sp doesn't fall - let's say it goes to $10. - then when it comes time to repay my 1,000 borrowed shares, I have to buy them at $10 - and I therefore lose $1,000. (whereas the regular investor makes a profit of $1,000)
Correct?
Also - I agree that some bashers post negative comments, seems logical - but wouldn't you agree that pumptards such as yoruself post nothing but positive and can ignore plain truth facts - not because they're everyone's 'friend' - but because they're looking after their own investment?
Investor need to take both side of a bullboard into account - and then basically ignore both sides.
