- boboblong 14y agoThis, of course, has unlimited downside.
- betterunix 14y agoSo what would you do if the counterparty failed to deliver on that contract?
- SilasX 14y agoCastration? I don't know, whatever they do on "plain vanilla" exchanges/brokerages that allow shorting. Although there were recent scandals about people shorting shares that didn't exist, and when they would have reaped a profit, they were told there was no record of the shares, "but we can reverse the transaction if you like".
