Well, I bought some puts (options) which is basically the same thing. Look at the one year chart:

this is ready to drop a bit. :) If i'm wrong I lose all the money I put into the options....


Are you excited about their wireless headphones for Iphone 7?

I shorted Apple by not replacing my Iphone 6 with another Apple product. Instead I made the switch to Android and I feel like a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders. What I'm trying to say is the Apple is like a giant basket of poo poo that you have to carry around on your head constantly. People think this makes them look cool, but its like in that one movie with the magic glasses where like anyone in the know will put the glasses on and see everyone walking around with giant baskets of poo poo on their heads.

Apple did some good marketing 10-15 years ago so I still have friends that refuse to use Windows and swear up and down that "Anyone who knows anything about Artistry and Design work knows that Apples are superior in every way"

It doesn't explain why everyone goes for the obviously inferior IOS over Android though other than marketing to the dumbest dregs of society that are pleased by Playskool brand phones.

Apparently rich people use iphones whereas most middle class people use android. Which is really good evidence for the notion rich people are stupid assholes and need to be thrown against the wall.

Android is still hot garbage even nearly 10 years into development. The only phone that isn't guaranteed useless is the one handset a year that runs the pure OS and even that is complete poo poo most of the time. The Samsungs that everyone actually buys are just pure crap, full stop.

Yeah this is the severely underrated aspect of Apple, outsourcing all those dumb IT questions onto minimum wage earners.

Everyone should buy Apple products for olds and watch as your free time miraculously goes up because you can respond to any question by telling your old to go take a class at the Apple Store.

I have a Sony and my only gripe is that the USB port is inside a lovely little plastic flap so they can market it as water resistant.

Ouch. Well puts are safer in a way in that you can only lose what you put into them. Shorting can result in much larger losses than your investment. But my puts cost only $400, so that won't kill me...

Paying an appropriate price for functional technology with more options on literally every facet of the product, which accomplishes the same thing as over priced dumbed down horse poo poo that removes most of those options does in fact make you an adult for your ability to judge things on actual metrics and budget your money while buying the best product available. While overpaying for marketing and branding for an inferior product proves you don't have an adult's grasp on budgeting or the world

If you buy a stock at $20 and it goes to $0 you lose your investment.

If you short a stock at $20 and it goes to $40 you lose your investment. If it goes to $60 you lose it again! If it goes to $80 again. So you need to cover to stop the losses. But if it happens overnight you're screwed.
