You're absolutely right... infinite loss is a scary thing. I'd be far more fearful of 100 short shares of AAPL going from 450 to INFINITY than 100 long shares going from 450 to ZERO.

VW went parabolic on a short squeeze, taking a well known German billionaire to the poorhouse with it, before collapsing .....
