RE:RE:RE:RE:Rota -> Holding Short on CanopyRota,
If you go into a
Long Position on a stock (bet on upward movements) your loss is limited to the total amount you invest (assuming the worse case). If you go into a
Short Position (bet on downward movements) but the price goes up instead, then your losses can far out weigh the value of your trade, by 100's even 1000's of percentage points.
When you enter into the world of trading you should make it a point to learn something new every day... try a Google Search and leam more about how a Long and a Short Positions Differ and understand that Short Positions remain under contract to buy despite the price going up, to exit, they are
REQUIRED to buy. These rules apply to all stocks, in all sectors, so it is worthwhile to understand even if you opt not to invest in a Cannabis Company.
