According to @QCompounding, Jesse went bankrupt after bad advice, rebuilt multiple times, then in 1929 shorted into market euphoria, split orders across more than 100 brokers to conceal intent, and exited the crash with $100 million, underscoring a contrarian short setup with stealth execution in high-sentiment markets.

According to @StockMarketNerd, short sellers aiming for asymmetric downside should target weaker names like IONQ and RGTI rather than leaders NVDA and PLTR, emphasizing risk-reward efficiency for bears (source: @StockMarketNerd). According to @StockMarketNerd, NVDA and PLTR are described as elite, expensive, and thriving operators, while IONQ and RGTI are characterized as probable zeros with no near-term path to a viable product, making the latter a lower-resistance short, in their view (source: @StockMarketNerd). According to @StockMarketNerd, betting against category leaders requires timing industry cycle deceleration, whereas shorting structurally weaker firms is anchored in fundamentals and product viability risks (source: @StockMarketNerd). According to @StockMarketNerd, a practical trading takeaway is to concentrate short exposure in weaker quantum-computing equities (IONQ, RGTI) rather than AI leaders (NVDA, PLTR) if seeking downside, while recognizing higher volatility and sizing accordingly (source: @StockMarketNerd). According to @StockMarketNerd, the comment references a Burry-style short mindset and frames the choice as minimizing voluntary resistance by avoiding fights against strong leaders (source: @StockMarketNerd).
