    I think the idea is that, whilst shorting, you get squeezed. The question is not ‘if’ but ‘when’ and if it takes too long and you’re $1B deep you can lose your shirt

      Yep. The market can stay irrational etc

      The thing is though as long as it goes down that’s usually all you need. You don’t need a total collapse.

        That’s the thing though, options are generally relatively short in duration, with most being a few months. The longest options are around 1-2 years out.

        Could AI stay keep its hype for 1-2 years? Probably. Will it? Who knows!
