He could've and I'm sure he wishes he did.

### REPLY:
I’ve never shorted shares, but the basic plans I’ve read include, but not limited to. 
 1. short in blocks of 100 
 2. Use capital to buy a close strike call to hedge against a short squeeze or misjudgment. 
 3. Either buy back shares and profit (sell call if it has value). 
 4. Exercise Call max loss being strike and base difference plus option premium.
