Still convinced that shortening stock options is a legitimate tool and mirroring reality?! That’s one hell of a show.

Yesterday the stock ended up at $147.98 for every share. Up from $4. These hedgefunds are STILL shorting the stock, at 130% of available shares. That's how fucking greedy these guys are. All those millions of shares STILL have to be paid back.

I don’t understand this criticism. It’s super risky and whoever does it should know what they’re getting into. It’s a gamble, and it can bankrupt an org. But who ever said it mirrors reality? Why should it be illegal?

I feel very much the same. It's a game and these days, a round of new player enters. With regard to mirroring reality, see this thread:

Yup: it's unclear what social benefits are obtained by artificially and temporarily inflating the stock of retailers whose business model was already under pressure from tech change. Once the daytraders inevitably get bored and sell, these companies are still in trouble, right?
