Title: Shorting the BTC
Post by: jonny290 on June 12, 2011, 03:51:24 PM
Is there any facilitator or entity offering BTC supplies for shorting?

Until I find one, I'm doing a pretend short of 105.26 BTC sold @ $19.00 ea at 1245 GMT today. I have a pretend buy order in at $16 at the time of this post, and predict to hit it within 12 hours.

Thanks for any advice/info!

Interesting idea to short bitcoins.... I know plenty of people who have lost large  amounts of money quickly by shorting on NASDAQ. Seems like a risky idea....
