What educator taught you that to short a company was to attempt to destroy it and it's mission, and to go "long" on a company was to support its mission?

I'm guessing it was Musk, and you should ask for a refund of your tuition fees.

A Google search suggests you are paroting Musk comments about Gates and shorting as if they were your own ideas.




Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
