- buttcoinslol 7y agoYou can create a synthetic short with options, no need to borrow any stock at all.
- mrfredward 7y agoWith so many people wanting to bet against it though, those put options would end up mighty expensive.
- prepend 7y agoThat’s the whole point. Shorting at the right time is similar to buying puts while still compatible with your model.
