a simple numbers game really

i'd suggest that there are fewer people who have a grudge against conventional car makers. there's a profit motive in shorting tesla.

i'd suggest there are probably more people with a grudge against conventional car makers than there are even tesla investors in the world. a simple numbers game, really...

i know the shorting angle is a popular myth on tmc, but imo it is more a myth these days than anything else - regarding tmc reports. some seeking alpha may be different, but tmc... pfft. imo 99% of the time the reports, comments (at times even rumors) posted here are accurate (in the sense that the report is real, not necessarily that the poster gets all the facts right) and the doubts about shorting turn out to be false.

it is a self-feeding loop: people doubt negative posters of being shorters, so they see shorters everywhere, so they call out shorters everywhere, rinse and repeat. in reality, most of the people bothering to post on tmc are just normal imperfect owners and followers.

i can believe this was different in the early days. but i don't see any supporting evidence these days of a widespread phenomenon, nor does it make logical sense since tmc really isn't affecting the stock anymore.
