...after I had forgotten to do so when it was still at $47. It hit the target ($27) that I had scoped out at that time this week. I'm hoping it will finish the crash and start burning before the end of the month. This is the first stock I've seen in years that has a very good chance of going to zero within three months of its issue.

ETA: Getting shares to short is incredibly expensive as there were only a few that were issued and there's a huge premium to borrow any of those.

At small profits or take the risk of losing $45 to see if it actually gets to 0 before next month and make a couple grand 😂
