Let's take a look at the shorting $MIM-proposition. If you're not familiar with this approach, @38_2_percents mentioned this thread to me.
So, I'm going to be reductionist about the thread.
"I made 7 figures" sounds like 100% gain from a 0% risk, but, following looping approach above, it's more like this:
- if I were to invest, say, $481 in stables, using loop-approach, I'd make, at 100%-depeg GROSS $1,413.45.
But 2x net gain is the upside.
What're the downsides?
- Liquidation, particularly if you're going to squeeze water from this rock.
- Nothing happens, so you've set aside your money for eh-returns.
- Nothing happens, and you're paying 14% borrow rate.
These are the risks.
So, 'make 7 figures'?
No. Unless you already have at least half 7 figures invested in this scheme.
2x return sounds good?
No. Because: I can do this elsewhere in a defined time. This timeframe is undefined.
Can you lose? Yes: possible liquidation and definite 14% borrow rate.
Now: the $481-question.
Am I doing this?
...yes?
I wish I had $1M to throw around to make $2M, but I don't, and I AM NOT RISKING my portfolio for this play.
A short should be a SMALL part of your investments, and this play, here, is a SMALL play.
I'll play it, sure, and win.
