Hindsight is 20/20. Being the guy on the sidelines saying "I knew this was gonna happen" after the fact never adds any value. It's you trying to make yourself feel special. If you were so confident in your predictions, show me where you shorted the stock and made a bunch of money off it going down. If not, please stfu with your grandmom truisms.
- optimalsolver 6y agoHow much did you lose?
- thefounder 6y agoI guess more than you shorted

- cwyers 6y agoUh, plenty of people knew this was gonna happen with the benefit of foresight. The problem is that short-selling is a risky position because your losses are unbounded, which means that 1) it's harder to do than taking a long position, and 2) it's possible for even a correct short bet to lose money due to volatility.
- dougmwne 6y agoI'm not talking about hindsight or who was right or wrong. Honestly I have no idea how this will continue play out. Anyone who claims they do is misinformed or selling you something. The price went up and down by a huge amount so the lucky will already have big wins. Maybe there will still be more big winners to come or maybe not. Many people seem to have not been aware of what game they were playing and were caught up in hype and frenzy, even here on dear old HN.
