$IBRX once a stock goes HTB, retail shorts bail. institutional shorts don't care, they can afford to FTD. like all retail day traders, risk management is key. we are not long term investors. i've moved on to short
$NVAX...
note: retail shorts go long during up trends then sell and short when indicators reach resistance and the start of the down trend.
institutional traders go both long and short at the same time, hedging their trades. they win more than they lose. HTB is the manipulation zone. it's dangerous territory for retail shorts and most bail unless they can afford the fees.
$LCID went HTB, but i'm holding my short position. i'll bail if it reaches my cost basis, but it's been a good money maker.
$PRGS had a nice spike, i managed to short at 47.00, covering at 42.00....
retail short sellers ride both trends instead of just the up trend.
