I just shorted PRTY at 161...
I think party has seen the best of times already.
If it goes to 175, I'll take my loss. I hope I can see it below 100 this year... |

Who are you trading through? I've never tried trading any other markets, so I am unfamiliar with how you access them.
Thanks, Nigel |

Interesting that you can even trade Party. I was under the impression that since Party was an enterprise engaged in (arguably) illegal activity under US law, it was illegal for American citizens to invest in the security. (Kind of like the way it would be illegal for an American citizen to buy the publicly traded stock of a Thai brothel specializing in child prostitution, if such an entity had a foreign listing.) I'm surprised you found a B/D willing to execute a trade for an American citizen.

I am not US citizen, but imo there isn't any problem for anybody doing any investment in a legal stock exchange. If you argument had any legs than any investors in tobacco companies would, arguably, also be incurring in a crime?.

weren't some venture capitalists or i-bankers or something in the US arrested for helping to finance Party's IPO? I'm pretty sure US citizens can't invest in PP

Tobacco is not illegal in the US.
