For a short time, by reading your threads and creating an unrealistic wall of worry. Since October, I've been buying and treading lots of emerging tech companies and making money hand over fist ( while holding AMAT). Lost a good chunk of change shorting KLAC, learned a painful lesson, which I will never repeat. Not to say the sky is the limit, there is no risk, hell there will always be risk in any position, long or short.But, i will never get caught up in the kind of naysaying on certain threads again. Made 4x my losses on Klac in 6 trading days on ELON alone, while my long term AMAT went up 23%.
