Dumbest Reason Not to Short

By -

I would love to be short Vistra (VST). In fact, I shorted it yesterday, but I covered. Why? Because the quote is wrong! On occasion, thinkorswim’s platform will throw off a completely random quote for a given symbol. VST happens to be one of them, and I cannot feel comfortable having my spreadsheet jumping all over the place based on one position getting insane quotes. Shame, eh? Maybe you can do better.
