- The last time I shorted Tesla, oh my God,
(fire crackling)
I got burned so bad.
(calm rock music)
According to Google Maps,
this should be around here somewhere.
Yesterday, I was shorting the stock
and today they disappeared.
I can buy these two things separately
(duct tape wrapping)
and duct tape them together.
But on the way up, oh my God,
I lost so much money.
A little bit too rich for my (beep).
- [Man] Wooh!
(pleasant instrumental)
(logo popping out )
(energetic music)
I've shorted many stocks in the past before,
because in a stock market, the bulls take the stairs
and the bears take the windows.
Just kidding.
It's Bill Gates, who took the windows.
(drum bu-dum-cha-ing)
(fun dance instrumental)
Us traders, there's no denying
that in the current market condition,
there's definitely more opportunities
to profit when the stocks are selling off.
But I think sometimes we forget that these stocks
that we are shorting to the ground
they are real companies with real products.
(record needle scratching)
Well, not all of them.
(low-key epic music)
So today, I wanna take you guys
on an adventure with me
to visit all the stocks I've shorted in real life.
Yes, in real life,
in the city of Vancouver, Canada.
Outside of these candlestick charts
and all these screens.
Now the question is,
after seeing these stocks in real life,
will I finally stop shorting them?
(record needle scratching)
Hmm, let's find out!
(suspenseful rock music)
(suspenseful rock music continues)
(confident hip hop music)
(confident hip hop music continues)
All right, seatbelt on everyone, before we leave.
And of course it will be a Tesla vehicle
that takes us to all the places I've shorted
in the past, here in Vancouver, in real life.
And also before we go, remember to drop a like,

To be honest,
I'm actually a better Tesla long than short.
I've always done better when I go long on Tesla.
Whenever it's like breaking out,
especially whenever there's like catalysts,
some deliveries or any other kinds of news.
So just to be clear,
I don't short Tesla a lot just sometimes.
(fun dance music continues)
We are at the Tesla dealership in south Granville.
The last time I shorted Tesla, oh my God,
I got burned so bad!
It was near the end of March
when the entire market rallied
and had a dead cat bounce for multiple days.
And oh my God, Tesla stock went
from I think $800 all the way
to $1,100 in,
I think two weeks.
It was crazy.
So lesson learned, never short Tesla stock!
And I have a lot of long term investments
in Tesla stock since 2018 and 19.
So I think psychologically,
it's a little bit difficult for me to day trade
and short sell the stock, where I'm long term
and really bullish on this as an investment.
So lesson learned, kids,
be careful when you are shorting Tesla.
(energetic country rock music)
We are in front of the Peloton store on West 4th.
This is one of those stocks
that got really popular during the pandemic
because all the gyms were closed
and the fitness centers.
So it made sense.
I understand the appeal because my own pole dancing
and all my own gyms were closed as well.
- [Pole dancing instructor] Yeah, straddle!
Yes, yes yes!
- [Pole dancing classmate] Yay, you did it!
- But I think now with everything opened back up,
people generally prefer to go work out outside.
And I mean, at the end of the day,
it's an iPad on a bike.
I can buy these two things separately
(duct tape wrapping)
and duct tape them together
and still be so much cheaper.
One of the best short trades I've done
on Peloton was last year in May 2021.
They have some negative news
about the bikes getting recalled
due to being child hazards.
The stock tanked from I think $99 all the way down to $82.
So that was a great short
and I made some very decent gains on that short trade.
Still not enough to cover one of these bikes though,
I think it's just a little bit too rich for my (beep).
And just a few more steps that way,
we have Lululemon.
Very convenient, all of these healthy fitness stores,
they all flock together.
(rock country music continues)
We are now at the Lululemon store
in West 4th in Vancouver near Kitsilano.
Did you know Lululemons actually founded here in Vancouver?
I actually don't have anything (beep)
to say about the stock,
except the one time, when it was brand new.
In my first two years,
I decided to gamble some shares before earnings.
Never doing that again.
So I think I lost like half of my $2,000 small account.
That was a lot of Lululemon pants
that I could have bought.
To be honest, I think I spent more money
on these Lululemon pants,
(choir singing)
than I have made money trading the stock.
And just look at them,
they're so comfortable right here
and they even have pockets here.
(chill rock country music)
This video is not sponsored by them,
but they definitely should.
You probably learned by now
(fun dance pop instrumental)
that short selling is a big part
of my trading strategy.
And in order to perform short selling well,
you need a broker, who can help you succeed
with premium tools and services.
That's why I want to introduce you
to CenterPoint Securities.
This is a broker I've used for a couple of years now.
So I'm very excited
to have them as our new sponsor.
CenterPoint Securities is a broker designed
for sophisticated momentum traders.
Have you ever seen a stock running up
that could be a juicy short?
However, you missed it on that trade
because you couldn't find any shares to short.
CenterPoint works to help solve that problem.
They have access to short locates backed
by the in-house securities' lending team
and over 8,000 easy to borrow tickers.
And if you ever have urgent questions,
regarding your trades or positions, just call.
Their team actually races to pick up the calls,
faster than my ex-husband
(record needle scratching)
ever picked up the phone.
I personally use CenterPoint myself.
I'd been more than happy
with the customer service and platforms.
If you sign up through my referral linked down below,
you can get 50% off commissions
and short locates for 60 days and that's not all!
You also get six months free
of trade idea scanner that's worth $700.

However, for my audience, they reduced it to $30,000.

And now let's get back
to the next stock I've shorted in real life.
(fun hip hop music)
Okay, I'm looking for Rivian office in Yaletown.
Where is this company?
According to Google Maps,
this should be around here somewhere.
Hello?
It's probably my fault though.
Yesterday, I was shorting the stock
and today they disappeared.
(inquisitive music)
(inquisitive music continues)
And there it is!
Rivian, Yaletown, everybody.
This is a stock that was once worth $170,
valued at a $100 billion market cap.
Ford was selling 8 million shares
of Rivian stock yesterday,
after the IPO lockup on May 9th.
The stock tanked for prior days closed $29,
all the way to twenty-nines.
Poor Amazon is left holding the bag,
but to be fair, this is just a corporate office.
It's not a dealership
and they do actually have some very beautiful looking cars.
(chill hip hop music)
I know, I know you could probably tell,
Lucid Motors, right here in Vancouver.
And I've gotta say, even though I hate the stock
this is an absolutely beautiful dealership
in downtown Vancouver
in one of the busiest intersections in the city.
You have Pacific Centre, Nordstrom, Microsoft,
one of my former employers over there.
This is a beautiful location.
Check out these sick cars behind me and the nice T-shirts.
This is really, really nice.
Oh wait, but the glass is dirty.
This is why you gotta short the stock!
I have a love, hate relationship with the stock.
I've been trading them ever since
before the SPAC merger deal,
when the ticker was still CCIV.
Churchill Capital on the way up, I think,
the CCIV went all the way to $60.
And after the merger deal, it was definitely one
of those buy the rumors sell the news event.
The pricing was I think, 30 or $40.
So overnight the stock tanked huge
and took a huge haircut.
And every day after that,
the stock was a very nice short after,
but on the way up, oh my God,
I lost so much money on the way up.
I got short squeezed every single day.
(dramatic sound thudding)
Yo, Lucid.
You owe me $40,000.
(Humbled Trader punching)
(chill dance music)
(Humbled Trader sipping)
It's nice to have a little coffee break.
It's actually been a while,
since I've been in one of the Starbucks coffees.
I used to go there all the time
during my nine to seven job in VFX.
I'll go with my coworkers
and this will be a little break from hell,
(fire crackling)
I mean, from work,
but it was definitely a very nice team bonding experience.
We'll just go there and take a break
to a near Starbucks coffee, grab a drink.
And that's when we can finally talk (beep)
about our supervisors.
And I wanna give a special shout out
to my friend, Ran, who is driving us
around Vancouver today in his Tesla.
So thank you very much, Ran.
Otherwise we would have to drive around
in my little Corolla from the early 2000s today.
(chill hip hop music)
Oh, that was so much fun!
