Tom will have the final say but I would vote yes. If someone wants to short the market and we finally get a correction, you'll look like a genius

OK, assuming I can go short, here are my 5 picks:

TSLA -50,000 <== that is, short TSLA for $50K
AMZN 50,000
FB 50,000
ASMOX 25,000
QEMLX 25,000

total: 100K

We all have $100K in play. To do it your way, you'd have $200K in play. I'm not going to do that. If you want to short a stock it needs to be part of your $100K.

If you short $50k, it still requires you to deposit $50k in your account lol. Nice try though

Time to win.
