No, no, no. Omicron is not what investors are afraid of. They’re afraid of the lock-downs governments will impose because of the virus. It’s tanking the economy. Airline stocks are tanking as we speak because of restrictions.
Let me tell everyone a little secret right now. If you know how to short stock you should do it to every travel related stock every time they speak of restrictions, lockdowns, masks mandates, etc. You’ll make a killing off this strategy because this idea to stop the economy, for any given reason, whether you agree with it or not, will always send markets into decline.
To be honest I should look more into how to short stocks myself. Right now I only use robinhood as a broker so I can’t. That’s about to change soon.
