    I don’t short stocks. I invest in companies I believe in and that provide value. That’s why I won’t invest in Reddit. I don’t believe in the company or the people running it. I have a few odd ball stocks like Google that I don’t believe in but overall they treat their employees well and they have a plan for success. I’m a big fan of their 5% policy. I just overall don’t like their model.

      I think it’s reasonable to not short stocks. I just find it a bit weird to see people confidently proclaim that a company is overvalued, but than not shorting the stock, which would be the rational thing to do.

        It’s gambling and not investing. If I thought it was valued properly, I’d invest in the company. I don’t as such I won’t invest in the company.

        I don’t gamble with my money. I invest in companies long term
