Wanting to short SCO

Remember too,

When you buy stock, your losses are limited (it can only go to zero)
while your gains are unlimited (you might be able to sell it for any
price later).

When you sell stock short (sell shares you haven't bought yet), your
gains are limited (it can only go to zero) while your losses are
unlimited (if it rises, you're really out of luck).

Because potential losses are infinite, "shorting" might not be suitable
for all investors.
