    WOW! you TSLA shorters are getting more and more desperate, aren't you?

    I'll be very happy if and when Tesla is taken private, thinking about how much money all you FUD-mongers are gonna lose! I'll also be very relieved when you disappear from this forum, having no more motive to post your Tesla Death Cult FUD when you can no longer bet on Tesla to fail.
    :) :p :cool:

    If you're talking about David "Green", he suddenly reappeared yesterday, posting comments to an InsideEVS news article, bragging about the money he claimed to have made by shorting Tesla stock, and pretending that stock shorting was a new thing for him.

    It does seem far more plausible that he disappeared for a week or two because Elon's suggestion that Tesla is gonna be "taken private" scared him into exiting his existing short position.

    There is a line between unethical and illegal. And proving illegal requires beyond reasonable doubt. Most of the accusations against him are more allegations and would be difficult to prove that he crossed the line and in many cases . So as much we can throw things at him, little sticks and he is still a superhero to many.

    That is enough:

    Short profits:
    • ($380 - $310) / $380 = ~14% in about a week.
    • ($340 - $310) / $340 = ~9% over about 2 weeks.
    So we could track "Green" from his first short postings and get a clue to how long he held his position. This could give a more accurate estimate of how much or little he made.

    Any period longer and the shorts would have had significantly lower ROI for a period of ~60 days. Less profit because the brokerage house charges interest. But do we care?

    No because he did not buy Tesla stock raising capital. Rather, he paid the long investors who let him provide a stock profit.

    Honestly, I don't really care who is or isn't shorting Tesla stock. The problem isn't the shorting itself. Especially not when there is so much "short interest" that it perversely drives up the price of Tesla stock!

    I've seen perfectly calm discussions between "long" and "short" investors in one stock or another, so I know that is possible. For some reason, shorting Tesla stock seems to attract very persistent trolls who continually try to drive down the stock price by posting FUD and making "concern troll" posts. I'm guessing that's because some of those shorting TSLA are motivated by shilling for Big Oil or possibly even paid trolls for Russian troll farms. And it looks to me like a lot of those in the serial anti-Tesla brigade are being Useful Idiots for Big Oil and/ or the Russians, by copying and repeating the propaganda churned out by those sources.
