(2,238 posts)Look at it, these people have shares of overvalued stock in a company with no future and no profit. No cool kids will ever make this place home. Best they can do is truck and gun porn. So what do you do when you can't legally sell stock that is tanking fast and you know it should be tanking faster? I don't know, maybe we sell it short. Maybe a third of it, so if it does go up, we can cover the cost. This way we play both sides and make some money if this thing tanks like we think it will, with our inside information. If it wins, cause maybe if TFG wins the election and takes over he will make it mandatory that everyone pay into it if they want to be able to safely cross the street. In that case, having a third to pay off the third and a third to make profit with makes sense.
This way you only get a third of the money either way, but it's better than a pretty sure chance you lose everything.
