A lot of Redditors hate the Reddit IPO | Reddit warned us that its users were a risk factor, and boy do they sound excited about shorting its stock.::Reddit seems like a likely candidate for a meme stock. But the actual reaction suggests that r/WallStreetBets isn’t going to send the stock to the moon.

Reminder that shorting is a high risk play and you should never make investment decisions out of spite.

100%, this is a trap being set for retail investors... not touching this even if I had a 1000ft pole.

Then it would be called buying puts instead of shorting
