Which is total bullshit. I should be able to short companies that I personally don't agree with. I am lyft driver who started shorting their stock at $70.00 a share and I'm holding until the fucking bottom lmao.

Maybe he just wants the common people to not be able to short his company for making "bold" decisions... kek. We'll see how he holds up when all of the sudden the financing on those giga-factories goes up by 50% in the next two years.

explain to me exactly how betting on your peers' financial failure that can and will leave people entirely dispossessed of their homes and ability to eat is anything less than a subversive jewish tactic to mire everyone in poverty

That's why shorting doesn't exist in real life. Because you should have to pay the lender a big fucking interest

>> No.16471736

>>16471607
Yeah but you're betting on a company failing and now you are incentivized to make it fail... it's debased.
You probably can't do much yourself but I'm sure you can see how other organisations could. And even though you are just an Uber driver you could still have some small impact on a business by posting something on social media or w.e. which then suddenly balloons into something else entirely and damages a business, even if it was based on a lie or you just made it up. You can create a scandal out of thin air. Even you as just an uber driver.
You are rewarded for trying to make it fail even if it's just a post on social media, you'd be rewarded for sabotage instead of the other way around. It's in your interest to muddy the waters as much as possible and shit on everything a business does even if it's objectively good.

That would be only true if the value of gold was constant. Which is not. Never was throughout history.

Nice system you got there boyo. When you can print millions out of thin air and you can artificially increases the supply of everything through futures and derivates you can control everything in this world. The game is rigged
