Most people that gamble would rather go to a casino


Gambling was going long this piece of crap when it had the 3rd largest market cap in the world.
Combine that with the fact that there is an absurd number of shares unlocking in a few months that people are chomping at the bit to sell.
This was like taking candy from a baby for those of us blessed with critical thinking & logic.

Again you didn't start this thread to discuss the merits of shorting, you solely did it to self fellate.

Will probably sell my seed money (around 27%) today. That way it's all profit. If it continues to melt I continue to make a killing. If for some retarded reason it rallies back to 220 I didn't lose a dime.


So did you sell that day? I’m guessing you “probably” did.

Still holding the rest of your shares? If so, please inform us the day you sell.

Risk tolerance. Some of us still make money the ole fashioned way. Buy and hold.

Lol. You don't understand what critical thinking is. Shorting stocks does not make you a critical thinker.
