Saying there's "little risk" to shorting while recommending "margin loans" is a very good indicator that you don't have a lot of knowledge about financial instruments. That's okay. Did you know that you ca

Why are you assuming people around you automatically have the means and desire to invest their own money into risky financial instruments? This is so weird.

If I can do it locally using a free open-weights LLM, from a low-end prosumer rig (evo-x2 mini-pc w/ 128GB VRAM)... scraping companies can do it at scale much better and much cheaper.
