People think that shorting is an easy way of getting rich when you think a stock will go down, but even if you know it will, getting the timing wrong on it is catastrophic as you'll get unbounded loses while the market fails to correct the issues you are betting against

"Sometime in the next few years" is not anywhere near narrow enough of a window to start putting shorts on stock prices.

I wouldn't even short Bitcoin, and that's been on the way out since the AI rise.

I'm not OP, but; shorting requires careful timing. Because the market can stay irrational longer than I can stay solvent, I don't short.

Somewhat hard to short non public company, don't you think?
