    I should really start looking into shorting stocks. I was looking at the news and Nvidia’s stock and thought “huh, the stock hasn’t reacted to these news at all yet, I should probably short this”.

    And then proceeded to do fuck all.

    I guess this is why some people are rich and others are like me.

      It’s pretty difficult to open a true short position. Providers like Robinhood create contract for differences which are subject to their TOS.
