151334572 : Turns out you're the short guy they talk about every day

CasualInvestor OP 151334572 : You need to understand what does shorting a stock means. As I did the opposite.
Technically it’s borrowing a security whose price you think is going to fall and then selling it on the open market.
I did the opposite as I’m hopping for the price to rise so that I can earn from the premium. Meaning I sold a put and kept the premium from the contract and plan to hold it till it expires.

CasualInvestor OP 151334572 : ChatGPT response to make it clearer for you.
When you sell a naked put, you are not shorting a stock directly. Instead, you are selling the right to someone else to sell you a stock at a predetermined price (the strike price) by a certain date (the expiration date). Here's how it works:
1. **Selling a Naked Put:** When you sell a naked put option, you collect a premium from the buyer. You are obligating yourself to buy the underlying stock at the strike price if the buyer chooses to exercise the option.
2. **Potential Obligation:** If the stock price falls below the strike price, the buyer of the put option will likely exercise their right to sell the stock to you at the strike price. This means you would have to buy the stock at the strike price, potentially at a higher price than the current market price, leading to a loss.
3. **No Initial Stock Position:** When you sell a naked put, you do not own the underlying stock initially, nor are you borrowing it to sell (as in short selling). You are simply selling the option, not the stock itself.
In summary, selling a naked put involves taking on the obligation to buy the stock if the option is exercised, whereas shorting a stock involves borrowing shares to sell them with the expectation of buying them back at a lower price.

Tonyco : Doesn't Microsoft back Open AI?

10baggerbamm : roll the clock back to 2008 and Linux was front and center.. an open shared platform of software and operating system for everyone with the source code completely available to anybody. do you know how many stories were written that Linux will be the demise of Microsoft. I heard it at nausea.. all of the experts on TV said this is the Future lyrics an open platform or anybody can program where all of the innovation is shared and the future is unlimited. no more blue screens funny we had one this past week.. do I believe openai is going to shut their doors now will they do additional raises probably will they be the 800 lb gorilla in a decade I don't know but I do know one thing nobody talks about Linux anymore
