my friend
madhu
shared with me his
discomfort with shorting!
--
i had heard this dilemma
numerous times before
besides experiencing it myself!
--
because of sheer habit
everyone is used to
only buying
and not selling!
you might have bought
100000 things in your lifetime
and sold only a few!
so selling, obviously,
is out of your comfort zone!
so,
when i heard him utter those words
it was natural
that something in me
wanted to help!
--
given below are two tricks
that i shared with him
which should help
rather anyone
to strike peace
with shorting!
--
1) trade in options -
that way
you need to only buy
even when
you think the price is going to go down!
when bullish, buy call option
when bearish, buy put option!
(see, no selling)
--
2) turn the vertical graph by 90 degrees
to horizontal!
this way
there is no up and down
only
left or right!
so, there is no pschological fear of shorting!
--
here is a bonus method
which didn't strike me
when i was talking to madhu!
i recalled this
when i was pondering later
as to how i had managed to overcome
my fear of shorting!
i overcame my fear of
going short
by learning the indicators
deep and thorough!
broad movement of the market
is logic
not magic!
when the markets fall
they are not going nuts!
they are just flowing
like the river
trying to find further path of movement!
light
of technical knowledge
just dispels
the dark shadows
of fear of shorting!
