Investing rules improve your future performance and returns by limiting your mistakes. You don’t need to be smart to make money investing. You just need to be consistently not stupid. Shorting stocks is stupid.
Investing is about aligning the odds in your favor. Shorting is the exact opposite. Everyone wants you to fail. It is impossible to have a margin of safety. You pay interest costs and you could lose everything. Never short stocks!
