Based on the current trend, even though the stock price has already priced in the better-than-expected earnings report, I really don't want to bet on a post-earnings drop; there are too many uncertainties.The current trend suggests most capital believes this earnings report will be very good. In this scenario, after the earnings are announced, it would be a case of 'buy the rumor, sell the news,' leading to a drop. But there's also the possibility of another rise because as the yield rate of A18 stabilizes and gradually improves, it could lead to an even better next quarter.If my current understanding is correct, and if the earnings report shows steadily improving yield rates, in the next quarter's report, it could potentially hit new highs again. Driven by expectations and burning sentiment, the market will inevitably price in the future expectation of turning losses into profits.In any market, we lack the initiative in controlling the narrative, while capital has it.I want to say 'sorry' to the bros who were affected by my short position in the past few days." datetime: "2026-04-16T16:06:02.000Z" locales: - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/topics/39976977.md) - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/topics/39976977.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/39976977.md) author: "[欧阳大叔](https://longbridge.com/en/profiles/12946194.md)" --- # I plan to set a stop loss for my short position on… ### Related Stocks - [INTC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/INTC.US.md) - [04335.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/04335.HK.md) - [NDAQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/NDAQ.US.md) ## Comments (31) - **小沃什的交易员 · 2026-04-20T16:08:52.000Z**: Opened a short position at 66 yuan tonight. - **啊啦啦哈哈呀 · 2026-04-17T10:46:28.000Z**: Hahaha, we'll fight again next time - **Jerome_V · 2026-04-17T00:25:06.000Z**: Received, short position opened at 69. - **谱子满仓满融干 · 2026-04-16T20:21:22.000Z**: I shorted at 49, held until 60 to exit, got carried away and wiped out half a year's profit, now I have to start all over again. - **夜影qwq · 2026-04-16T19:51:11.000Z**: Shorting TSMC is absolutely insane - **A-xun · 2026-04-16T18:32:44.000Z**: This month is the earnings season for US tech giants, dude.

This time the basis point was completely misjudged. - **小L同学** (2026-04-16T16:35:50.000Z): How much did you lose? I lost several thousand dollars. 😢 - **欧阳大叔** (2026-04-16T18:37:21.000Z): Let's encourage each other. - **你只活一次(耐心资本) · 2026-04-16T16:23:13.000Z**: Have you already cut your losses, bro?
