if youre putting money down? you better be wishing for it
It’s not the same though. If Twitter does something stupid and I expect their share value to decrease, I short them. Whether I put the money down or not, the price is still going to go down, so why wouldn’t I make money on it in the process?
Expecting the price to go down with good reason isn’t the same as “I hate Twitter, I hope their stocks tank.”
stop trying to rationalize a bet that a company will suffer.
the moment you put your personal finances toward that, you want it to happen.
you can do it all you want, but dont try justify it. its scummy and youre a scummy faggot for trying to defend it.
Whatever you say. If a company announces that they’re closing a bunch of stores or recalling a product due to a defect, their stocks are going to fall. It’s going to happen whether I put an option or not. That doesn’t make me scummy, and it does make you stupid for being the one selling the stocks at a loss rather than selling them for a profit because you think it gives you some kind of moral standing.
