How do you short a stock? It occurs to me that RFK being the health dude might make now a good time to short the vaccine companies

Had this same thought towards the entire healthcare industry.

Yeah there's a bunch of stuff... Like cereal companies - that shits so unhealthy

I would be shocked if those companies get impacted. If it gets to that level they'd be pushing big time changes on industrial farmers. I hope it happens, but not expecting it. Would love to see HHS and USDA collaborate to pressure an end to toxic farming. Human health starts with healthy soil.

Yeah its probably not going to affect cereal. I was getting overzealous. But my dream scenario would be the gov stops the subsidies and loans to monocultures (just stop entirely). The pesticides and fertilizers and intense watering has to stop.

But... Those vaccine companies have a reckoning coming. Something will get leaked and then it all comes out. I know personally that the covid vaccine killed people - it nearly killed me, so I have no doubt about the whole bunch of people it killed. It'll come out and those companies will be destroyed.

Just let me keep my fantasy...

Also RFK has talked a lot about how many more vaccines babies get now than before and the link to diseases

Yes, his career focus has been childhood disease specifically.

If you have a specific stock in mind .. you can always but PUT options .. PUT means you buy the right to sell stocks to someone at a strike price before a strike date ..

Oh yeahhhhhhhhh. Okay. Do I have to be accredited investor?

No .. you can do options in any popular broker. ..even robinhood ..I guess .

Make sure the option has enough volume .. else you will end up holding the bag without a buyer

Well, that simplifies it... Thanks. I'm still curious how to short stuff though. I think I used to know, but I've had some memory loss.
