Holy shit have they taken it on the nose :lol:

This is the big risk with short selling. When you buy a stock, your loss is limited to what you put into it. When you do a short, your loss has unlimited potential if the stock goes the opposite way.

Sounds like a Barstool t-shirt: Life is too short to buy puts.

Someone mentioned this is like Casino Royale, where LeChiffre shorts the airline stock (buying puts), tries to blow up the plane, and Bond saves the day. Robinhood traders = Bond!
