They short stocks til infinity Buying and selling thru dark pools and of the books trying to fix the price and leaving retail investors BLEEDING right before the eyes of the SEC and
I am a common individual investor. I have some stocks, such as RAYTHEON TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION(RTX), OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION(OXY), etc. Due to the recent market decline, I had to protect my investment. Three methods can be implemented which are futures, options, and inverse funds. It is too risky for me to involve in options and futures trading. It is a feasible and low risky
