Shorting is a very legitimate way to play the market it's just the opposite of taking a long position.

Shorting isn’t ruining a company and putting people out of work.

Shorting simply is one of several ways to say;
1.) I don’t like the company. Shorts didn’t put Theranos out of business. Lies and fraud did.

2.) I think the price of this stock is too high for earnings per share, revenues, profits, and guidance.

3.) They’re doing well now and it’s nothing personal but I see the market correcting and a falling tide generally lowers all ships.


I don’t know why people take others opinions about a bad stock they bought so personally.

A short position or a bearish view isn’t a personal attack.


OPTI sucks. Plain and simple. They’re poorly managed and the stock is supremely overvalued at this price.

You don’t got to take it personally.
If you were right and OPTI soared tomorrow I wouldn’t hold it against you for me being wrong.

So far though, the shorts have gotten it right, you’ve been wrong, and you feel a need to lash out because you were wrong?

Good luck with that trading mentality.
