yeah so as i understand it you borrow the stock, then sell it, then buy it and return it when it goes in to the toilet. i guess that if instead the stock blows up then you'd be on the hook for huge sums of money (which I'm obviously not good for) so i guess no one would allow me to do so anyway

Buying puts is probably a better/safer idea than just shorting, but I've never actually done either. As John Maynard Keynes said "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

He is a donor to the GOP he can do whatever he wants at this point. The US is but a playground for billionaires, if he wants to wrekt shorters with one illegal troll tweet, he can because they will be damned if the US isn't the land of snake oil vendors.

You're 2-3 years too late, back when that company used to have significant worth/market action... same with Fitbit.

Yes. That seems like blatant market manipulation and fraud, even if he was stoned silly when he tweeted it and had not the foggiest clue how serious his misstatement was.

Top Gear ran a drag race between the new electric Jaguar and a Tesla and the Jaguar won. The Muskovites have arrived in the comments section to the video explaining how the video is clearly faked and if it isn't it doesn't matter and that Jaguar made bad cars in the 70s and that every single problem with the Tesla is a feature you are too dumb to understand. It's fun!
