Trading 101: What is a "Short Squeeze"?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июн 2024
- The stock market is a crazy place where money can be made no matter what happens. How so? Due to a trading and investing strategy known as "going short", you can literally make money from a stock price going down in value. While the stock market is very expansive in all the opportunities it can give you, it can also be a very risky place where large amounts of money can be lost. In the world of "shorting stocks" and "going short", you must be aware of and avoid what is known as a "short squeeze". Perhaps you've heard this term, but if you are a beginner in the stock market and just getting started, it would be normal for you to have no idea what it means. Let me show you how a short squeeze works and what causes it (and continues to cause it). Learning how to trade and invest means understanding the risks involved and this is definitely a risk you need to be aware of.

@@claytrader Great job buddy 👍subscribed
@@chivasdeguadalajara welcome aboard!
nice! Explained in normal english. I understood 100% as compared to like 30% on other trading videos. liked and subscribed
@@5qwert7 thanks!
Who else is here tryna figure out what’s going on with this whole game stop thing
Many people lol
🤣🤣🤣 right here
@@johnhartmann8592 cheers
many many many lol
One important point : what happened to GameStop was special because "short interest as % of float" was very high. this is why the WSB ( who are retailers and don't have big capitals) were able to push the price higher. there were limited shares to buy so a small group of people could create the hype. when this percentage is at average levels ( e.g. 50% ) and specially on big companies, it needs much more capital to drive prices higher.
I study finance at a top 40 university, and this is explained much better than anything I've heard in a classroom
Glad it helped Joe!
@@claytrader yes true,very well explained,
@@zarathamanna9964 cheers
Same
@@ghettoghost2657 Thanks!
I typed in the search bar in youtube " What is short squueze " and the page shows tons of video but i click on clay trader because he explains like explaining to a 5 year old and thats how its suppose to be explained.
Thanks man...
Thanks for watching!
LMAO
Yes love how he explains things
Came here to learn about why my GME calls are about to print, thanks bro. GME is 140% short float rn, about to be pumped
what's your price target? I also heard about GME mooning and I'm curious
Cheers
@@cargojoe at least $30, but obvi I want more
What exactly do you mean by 140% short float? I heard recently that there are more shares being shorted than actual stock in existence. Is that what you mean by the 140%?
Me too! $17avg. GME hit $50-$60 historically during the last 2 console cycles, and now Cohen is gonna enforce max profits.
Thank goodness this video exists to understand Gamestop, AMC, Nokia thing going on
Thanks for watching
I was a part of tsla history last month, my calls went from .15 to $40, what a wild ride.
wild indeed
WOW!! I hope you had bought the calls and not wrote them.... lol how did you do? be honest I want numbers.. :)
hope u bought 5k worth if calls
Thanks for explaining this the way you did. Helped me understand what happened with GME and AMC.
Thanks for watching!
6 minutes into the video and my mind is blown, he cleared up so much that has been confusing me as a new investor that bought a ton of AMC.
I now know what everyone means when they say we have to wait for the shorts to cover and such. Thanks man
Glad it was helpful!
Easy to understand. You have charisma, a sense of humor, and clarity. Thanks.
I appreciate that!
“If a company is not garbage..”
Lmao GME
The whole GME thing just makes me smile lmfao
cheers
I've never seen cramer scream so much 😂😂
@@trentc6069 lol
Gme execs eating stake and lobsters all week long
I was watching to learn what a short squeeze is, and I ended up learning that “short squeeze people buy, u buy, I buy, every body buys...” and the price just keep going up until this video ends, It still go up
Yup. That's what it is...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Honestly I really do like how hard you work thank you for taking the time out to make these great videos!!!
Thanks for watching
no ideea what you said man. Thought I was having a seisure reading ur coment. BUT, i agree, losing Clays videos would seriously impact my hopes, dreams as well as mental and spiritual health at this point.

Thank you for explaining. I'm kind of dumb. Had to go watch your "What is a short" video and then come back to this one. Good info for a dummy like me.

Thanks!
Love your basic and simple explanation in trading. Keep them coming, thanks.
Thanks, will do!
Hi Clay.
Did a search on Short Squeeze after seeing it mentioned on an episode of Billions and knew that your video would've explained it best.
Thanks heaps for explaining it in simple English.
We really appreciate the fact that you take time to break it down to the very basic understanding, enabling newbies to get a clearer picture of what's going on.
Hope you and family are keeping well during this period.
Regards from Malaysia.

Hi Clay, thank you for your clear explanation. I just had one question. A short squeeze is essentially worth more than a gamma squeeze? Just thinking about AMC. I would appreciate your response. Thank You.
I'm not sure what you mean by "worth more".
