@@brodyalden Patrick's fine. He's interesting and a very smart man. Inability to understand what's coming in the future isn't a crime. Apple, Microsoft, Google and Amazon were all laughed at. Tesla will eventually be larger than any of them. Musk has an eye for areas primed for disruption and he's tireless. PayPal, SpaceX and Tesla are examples of what's to come. Tesla isn't a car company. It's a high tech company with the best engineering talent in the world that happens to make electric cars, but is aiming to disrupt the energy industry and many others. It's a bit like watching Apple when Steve Jobs was in control, but on steroids. Even beyond that, why do so many people like Tesla and Musk? It's because they're changing the world for the better and that inspires the people who can understand it. They want to be a part of that positive change.

TSLA dominates the new car market and is the most American car you can buy. Plus they own a lot of patents that are about to prove to be invaluable to battery tech. Elon is the single founder of the eco revolution. While others talked he decided to do. A true American hero who is just starting to tap into his potential. TSLA is not going anywhere but up even though the government is actively fighting their greatness because the current admistration hates the USA and our products.

It's a losers game. When you look at statistics majority of short sellers lose money. You don't short a stock because you think it's overvalued. It can be even more overvalued and stay there for years until fundamentals catch

[@DellAnderson]

The Piggly Wiggly squeeze was mildly troubling but I'm not sure why. Were the rules governing stock listing requirements clear or did the exchange just create them on the fly? It seems counterintuitive that the owner would borrow $10 million without some good financial counsel and backing for his plan, so certainly someone could have foreseen that what he was doing would trigger delisting. Or no?

[@g.williams2047]

Maybe they made up the rules on the fly because they saw that he controlled almost the entire company and could severely manipulate the market with how many people were roped in?

[@eyeofchorus6313]

In the old days, a short squeeze was a manipulation where a bunch of insiders(typically) would hold their long positions in margin accounts while bad news was released, then they would all move their shares to non-margin accounts triggering a mass of margin calls to cover all winthin a 3 day period which would send the stock into the stratosphere into which they would sell.

I prefer to buy puts leaps. Risk is defined. I know how much I can lose. I can't get squeezed. I just lose the premiums I paid. I also don't make it more than 1% of my account, because that is just dumb. If I do straight up short a stock. I have a 1% stop loss or I am DCAing with a small position. I was short TSLA DCAing up to 1400 using the double down method. Basically my plan was short 5 shares at 1k 10 shares 1100 20 shares 1200 40 shares 1300 80 shares 1400. Then when the stock dropped down I covered for a profit. I also enter puts at 1180 and got paid right away with a 10% drop. So that was nice. I was only sort 75 shares and I had puts leaps. I have 1 puts leaps on TSLA at 1150 strike left only. A 10% drop = sell for profit -but I don't want to guess the bottom so keep the free one. I plan to buy more puts leaps at 1400 if it gets there. I am not paying attention to the stock or my 1 put expiring in 2023. I did start shorting again at 1150 I covered half on the last drop. I have a small account of 7 figures so I don't want to be short more 100 shares for an extended period of time. The Tesla bears trade bad. They should have stopped out and gone long to sell higher. The way you crash a stock is go long with a heavy position. Scale out as it rips higher. Then enter short. Don't fight the trend. If greater fools keep piling in then buy to sell to them higher. Duh. I bought TSLA at 630. I sold before earnings and didn't reenter. OH WELL. I did same thing on S&P inclusion I loaded up on shares 450s and sold 600 before inclusion. OH WELL. didn't see 900 coming lol.

These historical type videos are cool, to see how the market used to work. Things could get pretty dicey before the DTCC introduced the ability for hedge funds to just fail to deliver tens or hundreds of millions of shares and then just 'warehouse' the shorts, that way they never have to lose any money and, more importantly, retail investors don't get to make any at the funds expense. And with the shift of almost all trading into dark pools and market makers selling far more shares than exist in order to prevent price movement that would go against their sibling hedge fund trades, its much easier for them to smooth things out and ensure that it's only the hedge funds that can make any substantial profits. The GameStop and AMC short squeezes will never squeeze, because of that ability to sell shares that do not exist, sell short without locating a share to borrow, fail to deliver and then simply get the short deleted by the DTCC.

Cool stories. I participated in the short squeeze of a few stocks in the last year. Basically people on social media find a stock that's over-shorted with the right amount of available shares to cause the price to skyrocket. So it's a bit of a conspiracy by a large group of disassociated people, versus a hedgie, to corner the market of the stock. Even if the company is total dog poop. I made $1000 in a single day on one trade as the stock skyrocketed. With social media, you no longer need a big money manager to do a short squeeze. Shorts are a very dangerous thing to mess with.

Excellent content and critical analysis.

[@lawhertz9760]

can you explain, if a stock is shorted more then shares available to short, so a squeeze should come (or not), what happens to those who suddenly own surplus of shorted stocks? for easy example, 10 shares exist, someone shorts 11, buys back 10 of them whenever possible, what happens to him and his 1 surplussed shorted stock (that should technically be impossible to short to begin with)?

[@MrShebaw]

Shorts borrow the stock and sell it immediately hoping to buy it back when the price crashes and return the stock to the lender. There is nothing stopping the share they sold to be bought back by a broker that lends it back to another short. So a stock can get shorted more than 100% because of this.

Truly an excellent storyteller!

A short seller pays an interest to a stock holder/liquidity provider/bank/whatever. That's profitable for holders (lenders) in the long run. One has to wonder whether the FUD is spread intentionally, so that more ppl short. How big is the short market? What if stonks go up partially because of lending?

[@devilex121]

They do go up because of lending. Expansionary OMOs ("money printer" in apespeak) typically trickle over quite a lot to the big financial institutions. These are the main participants of what is called securities lending (also called securities financing). As the word implies, securities lending is the practice of lending out securities in your portfolio to someone looking to borrow while you get some easy guaranteed interest payment on it. Does this deliberately try to bait short sellers? I would say no since the only ones getting baited are speculative short sellers and they typically don't make up that much of the short market. Keep in mind that there's other reasons to short a security too for example you may short in order to hedge other positions in your portfolio.

PaddyBoy, I think you may have your facts wrong although maybe not. The Tesla/Hertz announcement came around the time of the announcement of the 3Q earnings in 2021. I went back and listened to your narrative a couple of times and really couldn't ascertain when the Short Selling Disaster in Tesla occurred. This is not criticism, just comment. I love your vids. Great delivery, and of course, the accent is wonderful. Keep it up. I'd love to see you give a talk on Leaps using Tesla as an example. Happy Holidays my good man.

Lovely video. But please explain the Kenny G reference, because I didnt get it.

[@PBoyle]

Apparently, Kenny G the Saxophonist took a lot of abuse on twitter this year, as angry traders were @ing him thinking he was Ken Griffin.

[@Shargrailar]

Kenny G!!! Yes!. Excellent work as always!

The point of the memestonk thing is that investors, through Reddit or discord communities can find strategies as a virtual board of directors.

Similar to the Northern Railroad story, someone should teach Robinhood a lesson.

[@houssainghabra1688]

great video !

[@SIMSNYC]

These stories were awesome

Telsa has ruined a lot of short sellers and they all say after - Don't bet against a cult. Kalo was oddly enough one of the first WSB meme stocks - shkreli was a mod on that subreddit during that first year of it's existence.

[@CutePuppy520]

Yup... never short Tesla for too long... Sometimes it’s ok to short Tesla for a day or a few days, but, that’s about it... A lot of ppl are looking to hold Tesla shares for long at the right price, including myself...

Short selling: How do you analyze who bears the cost and who bears the risk?

[@buildmotosykletist1987]

The Bulls.

[@carly09et]

@@buildmotosykletist1987 yep, that's the people who make the trades. I'm trying to find the "balance" of the trade. A short is done on the premise the the stock is overpriced and will fall in the short term. Tesla is overpriced but it is a 'stupid' short as the collapse is not in the short term [reason: Musk's loans against his stock is large buffer]. It is how to balance the "cryptic/hidden" factors here.
