i think options would be the way to go in this situation... no idea what you can bet on but im looking to go long $NFLX if keeps falling or starts consolidating

$DXD and $SDS

well you long $DXD and $SDS since they are inherently short positions -- leveraged as well

I stay away from shorting b/c it's too risky. But I do buy options. If world markets move lower Monday and pre-market US is down 50+ points I am buying put options two weeks out or more in AMBA, $NFLX, $AAPL near or in the money. Then lock in gains by end of day unless I have reason to believe the market will go lower. When markets stabilize I am buying calls on $AAPL, $DIS, and maybe $NFLX near their yearly avg. This is where the money is if you don't have $10K and are never 1st to the short
