    It concerns me that you are so eager to short yet think that one needs to buy shares in order to short. You should probably just stay away from financial instruments you don’t understand

      Its ok to dabble in amything in small amounts.

      But big risk should always br preceded by heavy research.

      Or ya know, just YOLO on a 0DTE option because someone on social media likes it too

      I didn’t say anything about buying shorts but, to my knowledge, you can’t short something that doesn’t exist. I was stating that I’m willing to bet the price per share will go down significantly in the short term after it’s IPO, no matter what they set as the initial price.
