I would not short this with shares! Positive news about new or existing contracts and it will go towards 10$. Puts are safe with low cost and defined risk. They should give 600-1000% over the next week or two. More if the market tanks or PLTR dropping could take this with it as they move together somewhat. I always hedge and the Puts are paid for with some of the profits from calls and shares so no real money risk.
This is not advice, sharing what I am doing is not a recommendation. Always use risk management.
Good luck if you play.
