Aren't you supposed to wait until after the IPO to ruin the platform?

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 years ago

You need to signal your willingness to ruin it if you want Wall Street to take you seriously.

Ruining shit is a secondary concern when dickheads like spez only see $$ signs.

And as always, remember to short it.

Shorting is very risky and shouldn't be done solely because you don't like a company. Spez isn't going to care that you shorted his stock when you get margin called.

If you are bearish on Reddit at least do something with a risk floor like selling ITM Covered Calls. Not financial advice, just my 2c.

[–] Radicaldog@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Kinda crap advice for novices, as shorting means uncapped losses if you're wrong. You'd have to be very confident other people are making a mistake, as other investors may not worry that power users no longer like Reddit, and stock could still go up.
