How do you like them shorts?*<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Asides from being the fastest January, last month came with some interesting moments. It seems everyone became a stock analyst. Words kept flying around; from shorting to short squeeze and hedge funds. If you got lost, here&#8217;s a primer that starts with shorting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shorting Stocks:<\/strong> Jake has credible information that the price of a phone type will drop in 2 weeks. So, he borrows the phone type from his gadgets vendor friend and sells immediately at \u20a6200,000. He expects the price to hit a low point of about \u20a6120,000 in 2 weeks. Then, he&#8217;ll buy the phone (a new one of course) back and return it to his friend&#8211;keeping the difference between the old and new prices. This arrangement means Jake is shorting the said phone. Now, replace the phone with stocks. Do you get it? Awesome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Short Squeeze:<\/strong> Take your imagination further a bit and think of what would have happened if the price of the phone kept rising? At some point, Jake would be forced to buy the phone at a higher price to prevent further losses. When such happens with shorting stocks, a short squeeze is said to have happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hedge Funds:<\/strong> These are similar to mutual funds but only open to high-level investors (approved by a regulator). They usually take on risky positions like shorting stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"shortcode-block\">    <div class=\"inhype-postline-block-wrapper\">\n      <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n          <div class=\"inhype-postline-block inhype-postline-block-449199 inhype-block clearfix\">\n            <div class=\"owl-carousel\">\n            \n                  <div class=\"inhype-post\">\n                    <div class=\"inhype-postline-block-content\">\n\n                      <div class=\"inhype-postline-details\">\n                        <div class=\"post-categories\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/money-guides-and-tips\/\"><span class=\"cat-dot\" data-style=\"background-color: #000000;\"><\/span><span class=\"cat-title\">Guides<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n                        <h3 class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/prenup\/\">Prenup: An Interesting Part of Estate Planning<\/a><\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"post-date\"><time class=\"entry-date published updated\" datetime=\"2023-12-06T16:52:17+01:00\">December 6, 2023<\/time><\/div>\n                                              <\/div>\n\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/prenup\/\" class=\"inhype-post-image-link\">\n                        <div class=\"inhype-post-image\" data-style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Prenup.webp);\"><\/div>\n                      <\/a>\n                                          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n            \n                  <div class=\"inhype-post\">\n                    <div class=\"inhype-postline-block-content\">\n\n                      <div class=\"inhype-postline-details\">\n                        <div class=\"post-categories\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/money-guides-and-tips\/\"><span class=\"cat-dot\" data-style=\"background-color: #000000;\"><\/span><span class=\"cat-title\">Guides<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/money-tips\/\"><span class=\"cat-dot\" data-style=\"background-color: #000000;\"><\/span><span class=\"cat-title\">Money Tips<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/personal-finance\/\"><span class=\"cat-dot\" data-style=\"background-color: #000000;\"><\/span><span class=\"cat-title\">Personal Finance<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n                        <h3 class=\"post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/build-wealth-in-your-20s\/\">How To Build Wealth In Your 20s<\/a><\/h3>\n                                                <div class=\"post-date\"><time class=\"entry-date published updated\" datetime=\"2022-09-12T22:28:28+01:00\">September 12, 2022<\/time><\/div>\n                                              <\/div>\n\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/build-wealth-in-your-20s\/\" class=\"inhype-post-image-link\">\n                        <div class=\"inhype-post-image\" data-style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/How-To-Build-Wealth-In-Your-20s.jpg);\"><\/div>\n                      <\/a>\n                                          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The point? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In January, there was a face-off between retail investors and hedge funds. When a community of retail investors got word that a hedge fund was shorting the stock of GameStop, they rallied together. By purchasing the stocks they forced the price up, leading to a short squeeze for fund managers shorting Gamestop&#8217;s stocks. This cost the fund managers billions of dollars. A good number of retail investors (in the US particularly) have continuously <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/gamestop-hedge-fund-attacks-have-opened-up-powerful-new-front-against-wall-street-154284\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blamed hedge funds<\/a> for the 2008 financial crisis. So, the beef is understandable.<br><br><strong>*<\/strong>As Robinhood put it, the retail investors asked the hedge funds: &#8220;How do you like them shorts now?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">? The best stock market? Nigeria won that. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to start this would be with the street slang: &#8220;E shock you?&#8221;, which means are you shocked? In December 2020, Bloomberg announced Nigeria as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2020-12-31\/nigeria-stocks-index-ends-year-as-world-best-with-50-gain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best performing stock market<\/a> globally. That win doesn&#8217;t seem to be ending soon as the market still came out tops, albeit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2021\/01\/nse-emerges-africas-best-performing-stock-exchange-in-january\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in Africa this time<\/a>. Now, you understand why equity funds made some good returns in January.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A top contributor to the January win was a top telecoms stock. Interestingly, some equity funds on Cowrywise have this stock in their portfolio. For a refresher, equity funds are mutual funds that invest in stocks. They save you the stress of picking stocks on your own and lower the risks of investing in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-center is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Investing in an equity fund earns you the rare &#8220;Brave One&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/cowrywise.com\/blog\/money-badges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">money badge<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your move?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Stock or equity mutual funds are a great way to invest given the possibility of high gains. Despite the fact that they&#8217;re less risky than investing in stocks directly, they are still risky. In essence, you can lose your capital. The best approach for investing with them is to automate a set amount at a particular frequency.  For example, \u20a620,000 weekly. Already have an account on Cowrywise?
