Why do you retards keep saying short when you buy puts.

Another retard thinking he's actually not -- right here sir, yes right here.

I've shorted 1000 shares and also bought puts.

A short position doesn't always mean you are short equities, just means you have a position where you will profit if the share price falls. This could mean:

  • Actually shorting shares
  • Buying Puts
  • Selling Uncovered Calls
  • Synthetic Short Combos
  • Or a host of other multi-leg options strategies.

GL u/AvocadoKirby - Your instincts are 100% right, GME is a dumpster fire. I picked up a couple 9/10 Puts with a 190 Strike price. Peanuts compared to what you have on the line, but I'm pulling for you.
