Why It’s Almost Never a Good Idea to Short Tesla in the Hole

[] [] [] [] Why It’s Almost Never a Good Idea to Short Tesla in the Hole Hey traders! [We finally saw some bullish action in Tesla]( to start the week with the stock bouncing 6.5% and nearly $11 a share on Monday. That was enough to push it back up to -30% year to date… Things have obviously been rough for my baby this year, but I wanted to talk about something I mentioned on Telegram on Monday about why we didn’t take a short trade last week… With shares of Tesla (TSLA) down about $15 last week alone, some may think that’s a great time to go short in [our Perfect Tesla Trade strategy]( and stick with that main trend. Au contraire… Shorting a stock that's already down big is risky business, and here's why… When a stock has already taken a nosedive, it's often because investors have reacted to negative news or a disappointing earnings report. The price may reflect all the fear, uncertainty and doubt in the market, meaning the bad news is already “priced in.” That leaves big potential for a bounce back that can bite you in the butt… Exactly as it would have on Monday if we’d entered a short position late last week, just assuming the downtrend would continue. Stocks that are down substantially could be primed for a correction or a bounce back — especially in an explosive stock like TSLA. Markets can overreact, and when they do, they often correct themselves. If you short a stock at its low point, you could be caught off guard by a sudden rebound. Oftentimes, the best thing to do is be patient, which is why we didn’t issue a trade last week because I’m not a big fan of shorting in the hole. And it’s a good thing we didn’t because TSLA ripped $7 premarket before going even higher on the open and through the day. There are no guarantees — ever — in trading. [But that’s why you have a system and a plan, and you stick to it!]( As always, careful analysis and risk management are key to navigating these choppy trading waters. Stay tuned!
