Show HN: Find the 10 highest and 10 lowest correlations to any stock
I can see the risk in short positions - you theoretically could lose an infinite amount (if you borrow X shares of something, sell them, but then can't find any to buy when it comes to returning them), and it's certainly possible to lose more than you put in (sell 100 short at $10 netting you $1000, price doubles overnight on new news, you have to buy $2000, losing a total of $1000 in the process. If price trippled overnight you'd lose $2000 -- more than you could have ever made even if the company went bankrupt overnight)But put options? Surely all you can do is lose what you bet in the first place?
