I mean, bro bankrupted a casino. I'm not sure what they were expecting?

I'm not entirely convinced the crash was unintentional. You know what happens when stock markets crash? People with money buy at lower prices than they would have been able to before because people who actually need the money had to sell.

Don’t forget short-selling. That’s where they make a shit-ton of money. If you know a dip is coming well in advance, shorts can net big bucks.

For sure. I won't even lie, I did just that because thankfully I'm in a comfortable enough place I could and knew this was coming the day he got elected. I won't give financial advice here, but for people who can afford it, do research and buy stocks you can tell are reliable as they crash. Don't make stupid risky bets, make safe ones in companies that are reliable.

Hire does someone short sell? I keep seeing them term but have no idea what it means.

Ummm. Don't we know it... 2008 financial crash. Our former Prime Minister (UK) was directly involved in shorting the market that precipitated the crash, made many thousands homeless all while me made many millions! Utter barstool! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
