> People open short positions worth more than $100K every day

Yes, but you'd need to open one worth $1m to make $100k on a 10% move. $1m is still not "much" in the grand scheme of things, but it's still significant.



Not with put options, no. You can make 1000% return on these, especially when you control the exact moment the tweets will be published.


You can use variety of instruments to get a lot more then 10%

If you have a million to play with you could probably get something on the order of 10-20million or a lot more I guess depending on time you have to prepare
