The reason is simple:
First, short-term speculation costs are high. Although the handling fee has been reduced a lot, stamp duty, transfer fees and so on can still account for a large proportion. It can be said that the less money, the greater the comprehensive cost. Go in today and come out tomorrow. If you can draw even after one month, you may have to draw 5- 10% alone. Have you ever thought about it?
Second, shorting is easier for beginners to be impetuous. This mountain looks at another mountain, and under the temptation of short-term market, it is more likely to chase up and kill down. One knife left and one knife right, it didn't take long to cut my confidence. If you can calm your mind, wait for a better callback point to enter the market, and then wait patiently for the rise. It's not easy to get off early, but it's easy to make a lot of money. Take the market as an example. How can a big market end in three or two days?
Third, short selling consumes a lot of energy, and less money is not worth it. Maybe investors have other jobs themselves, and take small money just for fun or sideline. If they invest too much time and energy, it is not the point, or it is not worth the candle.
Fourth, if you are a futures trader, it is another matter, because the risk of many varieties of futures jumping overnight is still great, and it is good to do short-term intraday trading, but the shortcomings mentioned above also exist. How to choose depends on your actual situation.
To sum up, unless you have a good sense of smell about the market, you have also studied all aspects of the market and can accurately capture hot spots; Otherwise, it is best not to fry short. I believe this suggestion is suitable for most people.
