The biggest risk in short selling is the potential for infinite loss. When you go long an asset, you know you can lose 100% of your investment if the stock price drops to $0. As bad as that loss is, at least your potential loss stops at your initial investment. Short sale losses, on the other hand, are limitless. For example, imagine you started a short sale at $20 and the shares increase in value by 500% to $100. You’d have to buy the shares back and return them at $100, essentially losing 500% of your capital!
The other side of the coin is that stock market stands to more downsize than upside so SS is still attractive to some despite the possible unlimited loss as illustrated above
(CNN)On December 18, a San Diego emergency room nurse was given a shot of the Covid-19 vaccine. A week later, he tested positive for the virus, CNN affiliate KGTV reported.
Stories like this will become more common as millions of Americans are administered the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines over the coming months. Over time, many who are vaccinated will still get infected with the novel coronavirus.
Despite of vaccines arrival, cases still piling up day by day not only in the states but all over the world, even thou vaccines are available few months back but still it is not slowing down the spreading rates. Because even people taken the vaccine, they still got infected.
Today Malaysia has recorded new record 4029... Although Gov declared MCO for most of the states, but look, when you go out to the streets, you still see plenty of cars, everyone's going to work as long as your company was registered with MITI... lol............. Shop in malls are open, basically everything is available except hair saloon and beauty saloons..
So what are the difference ? Our country recorded 3k last week or at most last 2 weeks and today you see 4k, how about next week or next two weeks ?
Even when I go out to buy some grocerries, I am wearing gloves, I saw most of the people practising the same, and I believe with vaccines available it takes time to really suppress daily cases. It is not possible to have cases suppress in the near 2-3months.
So in conclusion, gloves demand is even higher than before, even our country hospital is going out of control so...... yea
So just watch the great show next Monday! GLOVES ARE BACK!
Vaccine could probably get everyone protected but it takes time, not 1 -2 months. Because even vaccines are available now. How many in the United State has been vaccinated ?
Vaccinations in the U.S. began Dec. 14 with health-care workers, and so far 13 million shots have been given
The population in United State = 330Million
So from DEC 14 2020 to JAN 16 2021, 1 month only 13million, so how many more months to 330million ?? You can do the math
Meaning people who have not gotten any injection will still get infected.
So 10 months maybe only about 150million shots by that time already near to the end of 2021
