Crumbgrabber Wisdom

Totally missing all these new beautiful shorts because my first shorts targets were already met and the places where I wanted to sell from never got there, so no reason to try to catch the move after the move is already done, even though there might be a little more left in it, risk reward ratio not worth it.

Heres the new crop of the crumbgrabbers new shorts. I am staying away from the big boys like ETH BTC and like a shark, targeting the weakest of the herd

This last liquidation event affected almost all of crypto and was nowhere near as big as the one 3 months ago, but the one thing to is that out of all the meme coins Moo Deng is the only one that seems have huge pump up events and most of the liquidation events are to the downside. Even Moo Deng comes back to earth pretty quick. So the big lesson is have hedges and have something that profits from a big liquidation to the downside at all times. Even the traditional trading tactic of having keeping a bit of a position as a runner may not be enough if you want to participate in the crypto markets today. 

Naturally this can change as we receive new information and markets do different things but that's how I'm leaning right now

This is December 12th 2025, and basically you can see that if you were trying to go long on crypto it's a pretty hard slog, I don't know how people manage it.

Your boy is shorting right now. Not a tone of conviction on this trade, But at least I'm already able to move it to break even, we'll see what happens.

I notice there's a lot of beginner traders reading this blog now, and while I don't consider myself a short selling expert I've been buying and selling stocks and futures for about seven years now, and lately have been shorting crypto with some success. Short selling is much different and much more risky than buying stocks, because you are going against the grain of the entire financial system which is always trying to make the number go up, and inflate the money supply so that the number does go up even if the value does not go up.

You can ask yourself why the Ford corporation is selling for like$14 now when it was selling for $10 in 1987. If you adjust it for inflation it's lost most of its value, but the number is going up. When you short sell though number one you have to borrow the shares from your broker, sometimes pay a "locating" fee in addition to that, if your idea doesn't work out from a timing standpoint, even if it is a profitable trade with the additional fees it might lose its profitability, because shorting has all these extra costs.

But that alone might not wipe you out. Here is what will wipe you out- Shorting a really crappy company that has low volume. What can happen is because the pump and dump fraudsters are experts at this sort of thing, in after market trading the price can skyrocket hundreds of percent, completely wiping out and liquidating your trading account overnight before the price eventually falls in regular trading the next day or succeeding days. Even if you have a stop loss it may get filled at a horrible level. So even if you are right you are wiped out. If you are buying though, going long the stock can only go down to 0, so you unless you are leveraged your losses are capped at 100 percent, which is not the case with shorting.

Most people have heard the old adage that the market can remain crazy longer than you can remain solvent but for short sellers you can have unlimited risk, because lets take a company that has terrible financials but a good story and good social media hyping them up. They can become another meme stock and wipe you out because you can't afford to stay in the trade. The insiders usually have some money lined up to support the stock and keep it moving up even when the insiders are selling their positions. Sounds good to short, right? Well, no, because they get the buzz going and the level you sell at, they can continue to push it higher, wiping you out. That's the famous "short squeeze".

There are even other risks particular to shorting stocks, especially with pump and dump schemes and crappy companies, which is that they commonly get suspended from the exchange, or trading is halted, or the shares get retroactively diluted, which all combine to sometimes make it impossible to get your money back, even if you had the right idea, and even if you had the right idea at the right time.

So please listen to me, new traders with stars in your eyes- don't go for shorts in the beginning, buy an ETF that is a combination of all the top 500 stocks in the US, paper trade for a good long while, and learn the ropes. You won't make a fortune but you won't be wiped out either. The first rule is, don't lose money, The second rule is managing risk is much more important than picking the right stock. The third rule is keep your position size small in the beginning. And only invest money you can easily and happily lose if it goes bad, and remember that leverage multiplies losses just as easily as wins. You can find some spectacular examples on wall street bets, please learn from what happened to some of these people.

Swiss franc holding up better than Bitcoin right now More exciting …

While Solana continues to be strong the last three days or so coming up to 141 ish dollars, all of these coins are comparatively weaker. but if you missed it now is not the time to short because they are close to their bottoms, hoping that they do come up a little bit and they coincide with Solana being weak.

Here are some of the most stinkiest, most shortable coins I got by pulling data from the Kraken API and looking at the trend over 3 different time frames. 

This is how whales and Solana take the money off of retail traders every single time …
