Q: 1.We have a bit of a debate going on regarding the merits of shorting stocks and doing so when they have the kind of pop such as Nvda had last week.
If someone shorted $10,000 of Nvda at the close of business last Friday, how much would be lost as of the close of business today ( Thursday)?
2. AVGO Same type of situation: buy AVGO end of business yesterday….and loss as of today ( Friday ) close ?
Thanks.
How would that person minimize his loss ( other than by NOT shorting it in the first place )?
Thanks

Q: Greetings 5i,
What are your thoughts on INTEL? What are your thougths on the domestic tailwinds via Biden Administration and roughly 75B in federal support for domestic chip manufacturers? Seems almost like the industry is being considered a matter of national sercurity in the US and will back the chip makers. Are there other companies who stand to do well in this environment?
Cheers!
