So in other words, you're basically counting down till the point someone posts it on 4chan or another notorious image board somewhere.

Good to know you've written of the $50K, because if those guys decide to mess around with this, that money is basically going straight out the window.

But how do you deliberately lose money? I think there's this idea that you could tank a portfolio with ease, but if that were true, shorting would be incredibly lucrative.

It's just as hard to lose money on stocks as it is to gain them (aside from racking up trade fees or something).

Isn't the ability to buy stocks that are going to go down effectively the ability to (short) the same stocks and make infinite money?
