idk, should I also take one?
- eloff 4y agoWhere do these trade?
- owlninja 4y agoLooks like NSE - National Stock Exchange of India
- lmm 4y agoGiven that we're reading this, it's probably priced in by now. But in principle the answer would be yes, but only with money you can afford to lose; any investment on a single-name stock is risky, and shorting is even more so.
- barbazoo 4y agoAnd it's shorting, so no cap on losses, right?
- lmm 4y agoRight, that's part of why it's so risky.
- koolba 4y agoNaked short sure, but you could buy some out of the money calls to cap your max loss. It’d just eat into the profit margin of your total bet. If you’re going to keep shorting more on the way down it gets more complicated.

- spelunker 4y agosell short and set a limit buy order where your appetite for risk ends. But theoretically yea.
- AbrahamParangi 4y agoIn my experience narratives are as priced in as they are accepted, so in the interim between "you first hear of this" and "everyone believes this" there is opportunity - bearing in mind that the interim between those two things is shorter the more believable the new thing. But for instance in the case of "there's a new plague and China is locking down" there were several months between first hearing about it and everyone recognizing it.
- Aperocky 4y agostock is in INR and market is in India. If the report is true, there maybe insufficient market capacity for the stock to move freely, any short position - including the one that Hindenburg made maybe blown up by determined opposition.
