Bill Gates' Tesla short

It still makes Gates a little bit guilty if he knew about the short position. Out of the hundreds of companies out there to short it makes one wonder why that portfolio manager chose TSLA?

Gates is stuck in the middle. He cant really interfere with his manager's trades, unless he has a really strong reason to.
The manager is thinking in a prolonged bear market TSLA will be one of the stocks to correct the most, providing a really good bear market hedge.Also TSLA is not going to be the only short position they have.

a child would see to short tsla....

what the fuck does the stock have to.do with the earth? If you short tsla you are clubbing baby seals?

Musk is making a product which doesnt use gasoline but what about all the rubber and plastic inside the car?? What about the electricity to run it?


People here cant be that dumb.
 
shut up.

it’s because Elon wants free speech for everyone and bill gates wants to put 5G in everyone’s veins with the phony vaccine.

Nothing wrong with shorting TSLA or any other stock, provides liquidity for those who want to be long, and will provide support at the lows when the shorts cover.

Not to mention the short squeezes that push the price up when the shorts get it wrong. A profitable short trade on TSLA is a lot harder to pull off than going long.

Gate's TSLA short only worked out cause it was part of his hedging strategy, as a standalone short trade they would probably have closed it out for a loss sooner, or not even taken it at all.

if your goal is to short a mega cap growth stock as an interest rate trade then Tesla is probably the best.
 
Funny how traders can't help but talk in hindsight. All the Tesla bears and haters think of themselves as superstars for having called the drop/crash 3 years late. Gates was short when TSLA was going to the moon. He just happened to have the cash to cover his bad calls and the luck to watch the stock drop while still short.

If I'm learning anything about trading and investing is that it's all based on timing. Even the shorts will start buying when bottom's been found.

In a tweet on Friday, the Tesla CEO admitted that he asked Gates if he was short-selling shares of the electric carmaker. When investors short a stock, they are betting that the price of the asset will fall.
