It's hard to avoid thinking that this will end in tears.
BTW I did decide to dip my toe into shorting waters - but (probably luckily) I found that I can't short in my IRA account with TDAmeritrade.

re "Jason Goepfert, president of Sundial Capital Research, says that while SoftBank may be the biggest player, it can’t be just one firm whipping up markets. Small day traders have spent $40 billion in call premiums in a month, data he compiled from the Options Clearing Corp. show. That’s a hefty amount for retail investors to be wielding and dwarfs what SoftBank is reported to have spent."
