Is anybody else shorting DJT stock?

Asking for a friend 🤷 🤔

1. Nobody I know

The fees kill any profit.

2. Too much volatility with what is basically an IPO

If they show you the money take it. It could evaporate or much worse by tomorrow open.

3. It's virtually impossible to short for common folks like us

4. Savvy investors always bet against tsf.

They know he will fail.

5. Yikes! Scary venture.

6. Bought 5 put options yesterday...

...after I had forgotten to do so when it was still at $47. It hit the target ($27) that I had scoped out at that time this week. I'm hoping it will finish the crash and start burning before the end of the month. This is the first stock I've seen in years that has a very good chance of going to zero within three months of its issue.

ETA: Getting shares to short is incredibly expensive as there were only a few that were issued and there's a huge premium to borrow any of those.

7. So I bought 9 $5 put options for $45 today. Wondering if I should sell

At small profits or take the risk of losing $45 to see if it actually gets to 0 before next month and make a couple grand 😂

9. Mine expire next month...

...so we'll see what happens.

10. Same

I think 5/2

8. Look up the number of puts vs calls in the option market

11. On short-selling, you have to cash out on an up-tick in the price....

When does anybody expect that POS stock to have an up-tick??
