So you mean if someone got a ticker wrong? Happens frequently, right? They fly, then tank. Timing it is tough, though.

Or, simply being a contrarian. This would have worked super well with GME, NOK, BBBY. For me, though, it's tough to pull the trigger on a short position or long put at what I think is the top in a situation like these. While I "know" it's the top, it can be tough to pull the trigger because, what if it's not?

This is why I tend to not get involved in these situations and investing long-term, defensive.

I love talking about this stuff though and appreciate your response.
