Are you willing to short anthropic and openai on your beliefs? Would love to be on the other side of this trade.

People think that shorting is an easy way of getting rich when you think a stock will go down, but even if you know it will, getting the timing wrong on it is catastrophic as you'll get unbounded loses while the market fails to correct the issues you are betting against

  • People who talk shit about stocks are talking shit about stocks at a particular time.

    "Oh no, when you apply scrutiny to my bullshit I get punished! That means the game is wrong!"

  • OP is blatantly overconfident on his "prediction", so I called him out. Looks like I struck a nerve with some people.

"Sometime in the next few years" is not anywhere near narrow enough of a window to start putting shorts on stock prices.

  • OP sounds way too confident about the general direction so Im calling him out to take some action on his "insight"

    Buying out of money puts with expiration a few years out on AI adjacent stocks should do the trick

I'm not OP, but; shorting requires careful timing. Because the market can stay irrational longer than I can stay solvent, I don't short.
