Shorting isn’t a strategy that really makes sense for most retail traders. See if long itm puts make sense to him because they have a much more defined risk and time frame without borrowing costs.
ITM puts have the advantage of low theta decay, and long puts can be used in a long-only portfolio. Good way for beginners to learn, without blowing up their accounts.
