If your position is sound, there is absolutely no amount of "chatter" that should cause you any concern.
If your position is easily undermined by anonymous posters on reddit...
In any case, it will only delay the inevitable. If NASDAQ halts trading on an equity, they just prolong the agony of a bad short position. How would Citron have been helped by a delay? Its a loan, the longer its open, the more you pay! So a trading halt is actually counterproductive for short hedge funds, what they really need is the quickest exit possible
- okprod 6y agoThe issue is retail and even institutional traders aren't investing, they're just gambling and riding waves, which are susceptible to chatter and why just investing in low-cost funds will beat out most in the long-term.
- anewaccount2021 6y agoIf people are willing to pay short-term cap gains instead of long, what concern is it what their time horizon is? Once again, even HFT, chat mobs, etc won't take down a sound position...at best they can only create temporary disruptions. If someone wants to try their hand at trading those disruptions, go nuts.
