    Looks like the climate deniers aren't working hard enough to destroy one of the best climate problem diffusers

    Seems as if all the Tesla hatred may be backfiring against the minority that push hate/violence. Poor rudkus

    Took a peek:
    • ($270 - 235) * 10 = $350.00 :: ahead on my short-sell
    I am thinking about changing my sell order from $135 to something higher:
    • ($270 - 195) * 10 = $750.00 :: a pause and re-short
    I close out my short-position and bank the profits. Then immediately, do another "short-sell" with the larger margin. In effect, taking profits while the downward trend continues.

    I'm testing how to "short-sell" and learning lessons. So I just canceled my 10 share short target af $135 to $195. If that transaction clears, I'll do a maximum, short-sell, of my remaining margin followed by another "buy-to-cover" of about 3/4 of the short-sell "buy." Each subsequent cycle increases my potential profits while minimizing my risks. Let me share an analogy.

    You are on a down elevator that magically puts a quarter on each step. You turn around and take a step up and pickup the quarter. Repeat until you reach what you think is the bottom and get off with your quarters.

    The whole market is down, especially Nasdaq. Exacerbating that is the number of progressive voters that are/were Tesla fans now are Musk haters.

    Not me. I hate what he is doing but see him more as having gone insane. I never hated those I knew who went crazy but I took reasonable precautions.

    I am not so forgiving about sociopaths.
