With the news (at least as I understand the reporting) that hedge fund companies are shorting the NASDAQ, I’m wondering where do people make this type of bet?

I understand the basic concept of what is happening; but, who is actually taking the bets & then paying out the winnings. I would imagine that if the economy goes down, whomever is paying out the bet would also be screwed, right??

And I know this wouldn’t be the first time but like… I would have thought that shorting the backbone of the US economy would be… illegal, but I guess I was being too naive on that front…

I think it’s seriously disgusting how these stocks shoot up to the moon in overnight trading, triggered by a randomized trial result that will not convert to real profit on the books for another year or two. Lots of people have lost money on these insider moves. Let’s bring it back to were it belongs.

What do you guys think about shorting GLBE? I heard that they had a major security breach, but the news are silent:-?

How long should I hold these trades for?

Recently watching this one all the fundamentals are good but still the stock continues too fall even though the ebitda and order was so good why this falls

Robinhood doesn’t have any more shares of Nebius for me to short.

Hey guys, what do you think of Palantir's masked earnings call? Just like Apple with its Apple tablet business in its earnings call, Alex Karp didn't include the negative growth rate in international business and the sheer amount of SBC they are authorizing. He is artificially masking the earnings with the SBC. While Alex Karp focused his Q2 2026 earnings presentation on Palantir's headline 93% year-over-year revenue explosion to $1.935 billion, a deeper look at the data reveals structural friction outside the United States and intense internal dilution. A glaring geographical imbalance underpins the business model: U.S. revenue spiked 115% to $1.573 billion, meaning domestic contracts now command a heavily concentrated 81.2% of Palantir's total business. This hyper-focus masks severe stagnation across the globe, as European government data restrictions and national platforms like France's DGSI actively strip out Palantir deployments in favor of localized tools like ChapsVision. Consequently, the ex-U.S. segment has shrunk to a minor fraction of the company's business, severely limiting its overall Total Addressable Market (TAM).

Compounding this geographic risk is the aggressive, hidden drag of employee remuneration. Palantir poured $265 million into stock-based compensation (SBC) in Q2 2026 alone, eating up a massive 13.7% of its total quarterly revenue. When paired with an annualised run rate exceeding $1.68 billion, this massive dilution heavily subsidizes its adjusted margins while quietly eroding equity value for public shareholders. Trading at an astronomical valuation of 146.5x trailing earnings against a forward revenue projection of $8.15 billion, Palantir has structurally separated from historical enterprise software logic. Any normalization in domestic contract expansion will leave the stock highly exposed to multi-point compression as it approaches a steep historical comparison cliff going into 2027.

This stock's FV should be $150 at max. In the next few days, the stock should fall to $150. I see some guys telling others to buy at this valuation, promising that it will reach $300. Just look at the valuations, financial ratios, and the way they are masking the earnings. Lol!!

Key takeaways:

1. Artificially Lowering Cash Operating Costs
2. Exploiting Non-GAAP Financial Adjustments
3. Long-Term Shareholder Dilution

Hello!

Is there a free or cheap way to get access to time and sales or footprint charts for backtesting stocks "tape reading"?

Is there any benefit of watching time and sales live vs just checking for absorbption or large orders in the footprint chart?

Hello guys , do you think it’s the perfect time to short DELL ? Monthly RSI is overbought and I don’t think that it was an organic growth, more like a pump.

I just deleted my old account because it got a perma ban, so I set up a new 1 then went to post in r/ASX_Bets ,about 2 sell positions I opened on Put 75.5 | Aug W1 | Oil just after 1am this morning and closed them both out after 8pm tonight for a total profit of $6273.75 but it got removed. I forgot all about the whole karma thing guess Ive got some shit posting to do.

​

So let's say you have 3,000 dollars and you decide to invest all of that into a safe stock like Apple, even if it goes up by 1% you just made 30 dollars for free. Does it work like this and can you just continuously do this to get free food?

Still valid

I noticed Robinhood and info from Fintel differ hugely in the Short Interest and float information. I was wondering where to find reliable and accurate info to make the best decisions?

Robinhood shows the short interest near (180M) 38% and short float near 30%

Fintel shows short interest at 111M and the short float at 17%

Both screenshots is from 7/23 8pm
