I think its reaching a peak. Back at 68 there were threads saying how this was going to crash and I said there were bullish signs and worth a buy, 2 days later up in mid 70's...It might continue for a short while (as in a couple weeks) but it is going to correct itself down.
## Speaker_1: ##

I shorted sfix with shares. At 38 and it margin called me as it ran to 53 within a week or two. I was too heavy into my margin. Lost he rest selling naked calls for the high IV on tlry... the day befor wit short to 300$. Currently in long on Roku with some puts I sold last Thursday at 49 and 47 strikes and calls at 49 and 51.
which are also ducking me royally
## Speaker_1: ##
I don't get ur $TLRY trade. You should have made a fortune selling $TLRY naked calls before it hit 300$. TLRY lasted only 3 days in 200-300$ range and slammed down after. Any call options above 200$ strike price that u sold would never be exercised and made u a fortune .
## Walls1337bot: ##
Dude I don’t get it either. Sold 180 calls for 10$ in premonition on Tuesday when the stock was at 155. Got margin called the next day when the stock price hit 262 and it wiped out the remainder of my account. It was the move in options price against my margin account.
## Speaker_2: ##
Here's your issue. You should have sold a $180 call spread where you sell the $180 call for $10 but buy the same amount of $210 calls for $2. Then you pocket $8 but your losses are finite. Selling open ended calls have unlimited losses and when paired with your full margin on other stock, you were risking getting 100% smoked even with a short 2 or 3 day move.
Be very careful selling options for the premium without capping it by buying an equivalent cheaper one further out.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yah. That would have been a better plan.
## Speaker_2: ##
I actually evaluated TLRY when it was around $70 on the long side but made a similar decision as you that the premiums on the calls was just too high so I thought it wasn't worth the premium risk to buy calls.
Then I proceeded to watch it shoot to $250+ right before my eyes and those same calls go up 1000's of percent.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Calls I sold for around 10 I was forced to buy back for around 130

How about instead of electing an actual businessman in 2020 we acknowledge that electing an actual businessman was a poor decision and instead elect someone like a career military member, a lifelong firefighter or teacher...you know someone that knows what it is like to actually serve?
## Speaker_0: ##
Ayyyy, let's elect someone who's been suckling on the government's tit for their whole career. They'll be good for the markets I'm sure. Gtfo, comrade.
## Walls1337bot: ##
You sir are not bright if you think military members, firefighters and teachers are just "suckling". Fortunately for you you are right now living the dream of a businessman president. I hope it is everything you dreamed it would be.
## Speaker_1: ##
Yo. Seriously. I went to public school and was in the military. 90 percent of career military and public school teachers are parasites. The military is full of absolute retards that are too scared or unable to do shit in the private sector so they enlist. They Make E 9 then retire after a lackluster career and work at Home Depot.
Heroes. Everyone of them.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I went to public school too and served 4 years in the Marines. My experience with public school was that the school was run by a bunch of professionals that cared about what they did and I realize that that varies heavily from district to district, so I empathize that you perhaps suffered a shitty district.
With respect to the military, it is a big organization so of course there will be fuck ups and moochers. I can walk in to any IT dept in the US and find you a grip of sysadmins that are the same way.
When I say we should pick a career military or career teacher do you think I mean just go and grab some random Lance Corporal or English teacher? No. I am talking about a guy like General Mattis, a career Marine, retired Commandant and sitting Secretary of defense. I am talking about a person that start as a biology teacher and over a career climbed to running the state dept of education. I'm not talking about the fuck ups, I am talking about the ones who served their country or state and fucking owned it.

Everyone here thinks you're retarded, which is why this might actually be a good move. If MU were to have a moderate jump, you could profit even if still really far OTM. If you have 44 days left on this option, that means that if the price goes above your implied increase of $0.69 per day, oh god you're fucked.
## Speaker_1: ##
Can you elaborate on the implied increase of $0.69 per day? What does that mean and how did you get that number?
## Speaker_0: ##
I should preface this by saying that everything I say below is probably wrong. But, if you're buying a stock OTM, you are essentially paying for a prediction that a stock will climb above this price by that day.
Let's say that I am buying a call on a stock trading at $100 with a strike of $150 for $5 per contract expiring 5 trading days from now. If the stock is trading at $110 the next day, the option should still be worth $5, since my prediction is slowly becoming true.
If the stock is trading at $115 on that second day, the option would presumably be worth more than I paid for it, since my prediction is coming true faster than the expiry is approaching.
Doing some quick back of the envelope math, I calculated that the $31 you need the stock to go up over 44 days would work out to the stock needing to go up just over $0.69 every day for your prediction to come true. I'm using the current price as the basis for my "math", so I guess you could increase my numbers by 50% to get a rough idea with your buy in price.
So using your options, if MU were trading at $61 tomorrow, you could likely sell for a profit. This should hold true even if it dips and then trades at $62 Thursday, or $63 on Friday. If it goes above that, you might even make some money.
I'm also (incorrectly) assuming linear decay of your option, when it is actually an accelerating decay. You should check out http://optionsprofitcalculator.com to get a good idea of what your option will be worth each day at a given stock price.
## Speaker_1: ##
Thanks for the thorough breakdown. My plan was just to cash out as soon as MU gets a pop even if it doesn't reach 90$. However, first time trading options and I didn't realize how big of an issue liquidity is with super OTM options. Now I know how fucked I am.

## Speaker_3: ##
Are you retarded....imagine if China's closest ally arrested Apple's CFO for something akin to espionage during a delicate time like this.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Here's the problem with this argument:
1) China is known to lie about pretty much everything. So, if China claimed that Apple's CFO was involved in espionage everyone would assume that they were full of shit because everyone knows China lies.
2) If Apple's CFO was in fact doing something that violated China's laws, and China came forward and said "here's the proof" the US would say "you broke their laws, you're going to face their consequences." This has happened before and US Citizens have been "left behind" in other countries for diplomatic reasons.
## Speaker_4: ##
1) USA is known to lie about pretty much everything.
2) If a prominent US figures ever get arrested, gov. definitely will get invovled, they were not ordinary citizens who got no influence on gov. decision.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I agree - the US lies about a lot of shit. But, China lies about everything. Shit, they can't even release basic GDP figures without the rest of the world saying "It's China, so it's probably worse than that." At least the US has some credibility.

## Speaker_1: ##
Agree but trade war with China isn't a time when the economy is strong.
If they work out a deal and the market starts to skyrocket then yeah raise.
## Walls1337bot: ##
The fed isn't meant to coordinate monetary policy with the White House. Doing so eventually delegitimizes the whole financial system and leads to insane policies driven by presidents who will do anything to create the facade that the economy is strong.
Instead of asking why the fed is raising rates during a strong economy, maybe instead you should be asking why the White House has chosen such a destructive path with China. A trade war isn't the only option they have to take on China.

What about the balance you did not pay off? What is the APR on that? Are you going to beat that with your investment? If you make 19% it may seem like you won, but ifyou take a year to pay that off at 20%, you fucking lose.
It won't be quite that simple as you will also be making money on about 4 grand that is not earmarked for cc debt.
Just rough numbers, as long as your % increase is at least 3/4 your credit card interest % over the same period, you will be up.
## Speaker_1: ##
Steadily paying my others cc's off, woulda been able to pay a little bit more but I lost my last paycheck playing blackjack. Theyre only 25% apr tho
## Speaker_2: ##
How can you get a 9k limit at 0% but also owe on cards with 25% lol
## Speaker_1: ##
The cards with the shit AOR are old as shit, and tbh i only owe like 3k on them and have been paying the minimum forever because I'm retarded. I actually had a pretty good credit score (close to 700) before this applied for a new credit card and they sent me this. Suh dude

He should have dealt with tax reform before healthcare. Get some good mojo before taking away insurance from 20-24 million people.
## Speaker_1: ##
I'm indifferent on the bill but I did read the CBO report and it stated that the majority of those people would not be on insurance voluntarily. They're only insured because they do not want to pay the penalty.
Its disingenuous to use this as an arguing point
## Walls1337bot: ##
that may be true but dropping 20-24 million healthy people from the pool is going to make insurers hate the individual market even more.
I also haven't read the bill in detail because I don't care too much, but I don't think there is any risk sharing or risk corridors in this bill. So even among the healthy people that do want health insurance, insurance companies can try to use price points to skim populations.
Even if this bill passes, we are going to hear about healthcare reform again real quick when the numbers come out, IMO
## Speaker_1: ##
Honestly, I think the end solution is single payer but no one wants to pay for it. There would also be a lot of controversy around a (much needed) fat and smoker tax accompanying it.
## Speaker_2: ##
how about making healthcare cheaper as a whole ? Why does a trip to ER cost 100000$ for a minor injury ? Also these pharmas must be stopped from charging 100$ for a simple anti-biotic. Its ridiculous how much healthcare costs in us .
## Walls1337bot: ##
i agree with you, but its not as simple as 'make it cost less'.
You want a highly trained and vetted ER doc to look at you. Well he has to go through 10 years of extremely expensive schooling. The hospital has to pay him, and the hospital has to offset the uninsured people who come to the ER and don't pay anything. You want him to use extremely well vetted and manufactured medical supplies and tools. Well the regulations to require these things mean those tools cost 10x as much.
You want drugs that are proven and don't kill people. So we have the FDA involved in all the steps, from the actual drug to the manufacturing of the drug. But this creates huge costs to develop drugs. So we give pharma companies a limited monopoly to encourage development. But now patients struggle to afford the drugs!
I think *everyone* wants to make healthcare cheaper as a whole. Its just not easy to keep quality high and bring down prices.
There obviously are steps that can be taken like preventing price gouging on generics (the way martin shrekdickly did), but thats a drop in the puddle.

If it shoots up Im selling my Calls at open and buying an Nvidia RTX 2080
## Speaker_2: ##
Don't do it. Nvidia's RayTracing implementation (and performance) is reliant on a 3-step process of combining their traditional rendering, their RayTracing implementation (which decides which rays to render and which to ignore), and their AI anti-aliasing.
If the developer doesn't implement all three to Nvidia's specification--for example, they just use the pure DX12 or Vulkan API implementation for RayTracing, then the RTX's performance will be no better than any other card.

because it does this every other day
## Speaker_1: ##
But why??? Every sign points up right now and the S&P news is huge.... What drives people to sell off at times like these.....Reeeeeeee
## Walls1337bot: ##
The S&P is down about 0.54% today. That's a pretty bad day for the market as a whole. Stocks with positively correlated betas (i.e. anything above 0.0) tend to perform in the same direction as the market. Any beta between 0-1 is less volatile than the market. Anything above 1.0 is more volatile.
So Joe Faggot, Co.™ has a beta of 0.48. Because the S&P is down 0.54%, you can expect their performance to be a decline of somewhere around 0.27% today. Conversely, assume BlazeIt420, Inc.™ has a beta of 4.20. You can expect their performance to be much worse than a decline of 0.54% today - probably somewhere around ~3-5%. Note that it's obviously not a perfect predictor or we could easily arbitrage mismatching betas/performance levels.
AMD's beta is 3.07, which theoretically means AMD is about 200% (3x) more volatile than the market. A day when the market goes up 0.5%, we can normally expect AMD to be up ~1.5%, and conversely with a decline.
**TL;DR** Stocks can go up and down for no reason and this is a normal day for AMD. Also you're a faggot.
## Speaker_2: ##
Not how beta works but ok
## Walls1337bot: ##
That's why I said theoretically, faggot. It can't be used to predict price movements day to day, but it's a good general guideline of volatility and price movement direction.

I’ve had an amazing run but I’m punching out for the summer. It’s been an amazing year.
The Robinhood chart might be wrong but I started at about 20k of savings and ran it up to maybe 150kish mainly trading stocks and maybe another 40-50k in options plays in the last month or so. I did use margin for some 100% margin power moves.
Main moves were Amazon from 850 to 1450. Amazon 1370 to 1600. Snapchat from 13 to 20. Facebook 155 to 190. Twitter from 23 to 35. Square from 35 to 57. Netflix from 180 to 250.
Loads of bonkers WTF bad and good trades in between. It’s been great.
I cashed out a bunch of $ and left 100k in RH 2-3 weeks ago and ran the remaining 100k up to 150k in two days with MU and OLED options. Then MU shit the bed and now I’m pulling everything out with a nice 25k profit.
This morning with G7 and Korea and Trump just spooked me. MU might fly next week and I’m ok with not making tendies then because I’ve made more than enough tendies already.
Why am I stopping now?
Because i don’t want to wreck my life by (edit - losing all my profit and oweing thousands in taxes ) spending the profit I’ve already banked, blowing up my account and owing thousands.
I started to not enjoy the evenings or weekends when I wasn’t doing well. I was showing all the signs of someone taking it too emotionally. It was my life savings and I was taking it to heart.
When I had an amazing month (I think January I made 60k) I felt like a god. Then the Feb flash crashes brought me down with a bump.
Now I’m going to sit with my CPA to work out my taxes. I’m self employed and have been told and need to confirm you can set up a LLC and put 55k profit into a company 401k. Then I’m going to pay ALL my taxes.
Then go on holiday and come back September time.
I’m starting to learn all about reading charts and technical analysis which I need to study. Cup and handles all this bullshit. I’m learning options and might go on a course. I’ve got the bug.

> Am I retarded???
Well....
Edit: But yes, you can buy a call below or above the current price. It's "in the money" if the stock's currently above the strike price. A call's strike can be pretty much whatever. You can buy Amazon calls for 750, or 1250. Buying them at 750 will be ungodly expensive, and buying them at 1150 would be like 0.001.
Main difference between a call and a put... a call you want it above the strike price, a put you want it below. A put's the equivalent of shorting.
## Speaker_1: ##
What would be the point of buying the 750 one? Would you lose money from the premium prices being too high? I thought I knew shit about options until this buy call options below the underlying stock price shit came up.
## Walls1337bot: ##
When you go far ITM like that it you're almost entirely intrinsic value, which means you're buying the stock with a 3-4x leverage.
For example, with Amazon, let's say you buy the monthly June call at the 750 strike at what I see as the ask price - 211.30. That means if you exercised the option right then your break even is 961.30 for a share currently worth 959.84. Doesn't take much for you to start making money does it? It also gives you about 4x leverage on Amazon to where Amazon goes up $1 you'll have made $4 compared to buying one regular share.
Now if instead you go with the 960 strike, the current ask is 18.55, meaning your break-even is 978.55. The risk of it expiring worthless is pretty high, assuming Amazon climbs up, you'd be leveraged about 52x, so significantly higher returns if it jumps that high compared to buying shares or deep ITM calls.

Can't wait to live my childhood dream of riding inside those bank deposit tubes
## Speaker_2: ##
You were a weird fucking kid
## Speaker_3: ##
I used to want to be inside them too. There was a game on some flash website way back in the day with the Charmander looking Digimon (which were never as cool as real Pokemon, for the record) and you would be in a tube space hyper link thing, and you could go left or right and swing around in a circle in this tube, and things would be perpetually coming at you. You could shoot them or dodge them. I would play this game for hours. It was so much fun. So this is how I imagined these tubes. I wanted to be inside them so bad. I would be in the back seat of that green impala as my mother slid her card and bank statements in that little container and press the button to send it rocketing off to Netherland, and here I would find myself imagining I was on a skateboard riding the inner walls of the tube as that sweet vacuum sucking *schlurp* sound whizzed by my face, gently blowing my long brown hair, as I spun around and dodged computer viruses and lost credit cards and old pens in this magical vacuum chamber with stars and colorful lights all around, to make it to the other end and get *deep* inside that Wachovia bank.

Let me tell you we have the cleanest coal
## Speaker_2: ##
Do you have all the words required to explain what the fuck clean coal is?
## Speaker_3: ##
Clean coal is coal burned with a filter that takes out literally everything except the co2 emissions. Thats what clean coal is. It has nothing to do with the actual quality of coal, it has to do with the fact we can burn it and only emit co2 as opposed to a large variety of other toxic elements like sulfur and lead.
Its cheaper than any of the renewable energy technology and we have 1000 years of it under US soil. The only reason the left doesnt want us to burn it is because of the co2 emissions, and the fact they shut down coal power plants is part of the reason our energy is so expensive and our manufacturing base went away. Its not just China, its our domestic policy shooting up energy prices.
This is why Trump talks about "Clean Coal" so much. But hey, lets just laugh because coal is black and sooty. How can it be clean, right? GUD 1 FAGGOTS.

Honestly though. I wonder if electric frequency waves like cellular networks have an affect on where rain clouds on earth drop from?

If you have $5 million aiming for 3% returns just throw everything in safe dividend stocks and live off of that income. If a full time trader is making 3% annually then they're doing a pretty shitty job.
## Speaker_1: ##
Just curious, what is their aim? 20%?
## Speaker_0: ##
A passive investor should be looking for 7-10% return with growth/dividends on average. Someone who is investing *and* making active trades (earnings plays, weekly options, shorter term trades ) are looking close to 15-20%. A full time active trader should be looking at ~~30-40%~~ idfk man annually. These are averages though, and with the current bull market returns are going to be on the high side of these estimates.
## Speaker_2: ##
I thought studies show even full time trader on average don't manage to beat the market? If they'd make 30% a year, they'd be insanely rich in no time...
## Speaker_3: ##
I call bullshit on those studies.
This is anecdotal but 2 weeks ago when the market dipped on the comey news I caught 7% of a 14% rise in $uvxy. Sold the same day and bought svxy and caught 5% rise on that.
So in three days i made 12% and I'm poor and untrained so i image most professional day traders are making 20% to 30% a day in a bull market.

Why not like 5 SPX contracts instead of 50 SPY?
## Speaker_1: ##
because why only pay commissions on 5 contracts when you can on 50
## Speaker_2: ##
spx contracts have low liquidity, so much wider bid/ask.
## Walls1337bot: ##
False. Liquidity is fine, and you just have to learn how to use the spread, not that big a deal.
## Speaker_2: ##
False. Compared to SPY, the bid/ask of SPX costs more in the long run than the extra options fees you may be paying for SPY.
## Walls1337bot: ##
You aren't even close dude.
1) if you are buying at the ask, you are a retard first of all. I have never had problems getting at the mid or slightly above the bid. Typical spread is 30 cents for ATM. Cut that in half if you aren't a retard and its negligible compared to SPY.
2) if you are paying $.75 per contract each leg, that's $15 in fees for SPY for 10 qty, vs 1.50 for SPX 1 qty
3) There are additional tax advantages to trading SPX vs SPY should you actually make any money trading, which also outweigh the spread difference on SPY.

Says you. I'm willing to bet that Trump has permanently lowered the bar for the kinds of people who will be able to make a serious run for president of the US, because there is a sizable chunk of the public that is 100% behind him. Americans love celebrities and drama. Even the scope of what is considered worthy of discussion has been degraded. Political discourse revolves around fringe issues (football players kneeling or not for example) that might be rooted in something deeper, but ultimately it's the spectacle and drama that motivates people, not a genuine interest in improving policy. My opinion is that the quality of the US government will continue to deteriorate, because it's too closely linked to culture and opinion. There is no mechanism built into American elections that guarantees progress or improvement.

Then he started doing unequivocally stupid shit, like sabre-rattling with North Korea, and more recently this tariff and trade war idiocy. These are bad for business, so now Trump is bad.

Of course they will. Job markets shift though.
When the invention of agriculture came out, did we see gatherers starve because their berry picking skills were worthless? Did the people who operate printing presses go homeless because we invented printers? Did horse carriage managers die because Ford invented the car?
>but some people will literally have no options for work in the future
Sounds like we should focus on helping people get a proper educaiton so that they can get work.
>but globalization is happening and jobs or dwindling. it's just the fucking reality dude.

## Walls1337bot: ##
I see the point you are making with hisotrical examples of new technology and jobs, however this time IS different due to the exponential growth of technology.
It's much easier to go from picking berries to doing another similar manual than to go from a factory assembly line to programming robots and debugging code.

If you take the aggregate number of people who voted for Clinton vs Trump across the whole US, there were more people that voted for Clinton. If it were an overall majority wins election model, Trump would've lost. Not that hard to understand.

Moves down on an ER beat, fucks around due to option pinning, moves down on an outdated company's bad report. Fuck this stock!
## Speaker_1: ##
almost like its a small random tech company that no one should expect to trade reasonably but this sub decided its worthwhile solely because they hadn't yet traded it and its not dissimilar to NVDA and AMD
## Speaker_0: ##
"Small random tech company" with a $33.51B market cap. Wut?
## Speaker_1: ##
what if i told you....the market cap is a function of people like you thinking that's what it should be. At one point this year that figure was $14b
## Speaker_0: ##
What if I told you... they reported $5.6b in revs last quarter -- if you prefer profitability metrics. Not a "small" number.
## Speaker_1: ##
my comment was that its small compared to blue chip tech stocks. its small enough to trade wildly and people thinking it will have any reasonable movement are wrong
## Walls1337bot: ##
by your logic 95% of all publicly traded companies are small.

I have so many questions
## Speaker_1: ##
Stitch fix fucked me when I shorted it at 38. That’s 80% of the story. The position I had on sfix would be worth about 6.5 million at today’s low too.
## Speaker_2: ##
you didn't short it with shares did you.
but lets keep telling people options are great.
## Speaker_1: ##
I shorted sfix with shares with an average price of 38. 82k shares. Got margin called all the way to it’s 53 runup. Left me with 20k shares left. I closed it out thinking I could capture some threats on tlry weeklies, the day before it doubled, that busted my account. Few days later sfix dropped from upper 40’s to upper 20’s. If I had done nothing I’d be back to break even for the year.

Just one, why?
## Speaker_1: ##
Because the market is trading irrationally. I figured even if they miss, the stock would still go to 55 by October because you know, lolz.
Didn't expect the ceo to steal 2 billion dollars though :(
## Speaker_0: ##
"because lolz" seriously thought how on earth would they reach anywhere near that? Their only source of income is advertisement and probably selling information. Do you use the app? Their adverts are just like the stock, cancer.
## Speaker_1: ##
Why did Yelp go to 80. Why did Twitter go to 73, why did any new media stock pop

You need to look at market cap, not price.

This x100,000. I'm in the insurance industry so I'm just waiting/hoping this passes.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I don't see how it can ever happen. Every business owner making good money will save 24% in federal tax...? How is that not "the rich getting richer" narrative, and where does the deficit for the government get filled? I hope something happens too, but I'm skeptical as can be.
## Speaker_1: ##
"Lower the rate, broaden the base"
We raise more money now from income tax than we did at 90% rates. And more than when the income tax was first introduced.
You're lowering the rate to stimulate growth to get more job creation which gets more people on the payroll.
Three people getting paid $50,000 raises more revenue than 1 person getting paid $150,000. This also gets 3 people spending in the economy rather than 1 person. Tertiary effects...
## Walls1337bot: ##
Good insight, thanks. Unfortunately I think most people would put $150k more in their pocket and build family wealth that just sits there for decades before they hire three people for $50k each. I think that could be a major flaw in the plan, at least from a small business perspective.
## Speaker_2: ##
Typically spending on an employee should return at least 3X or more in income. So $50k per employee should produce at least $150K in value per employee. Instead of socking away $150K at 3-5% an employer can earn $450K+ in value from the work of 3 new employees
## Walls1337bot: ##
Instead of hiring new employees I can buy a fancy car for my wife this year. Then a downpayment on a condo for a son next year. Then college for my daughter the next year, etc.

## Speaker_2: ##
Out. Do his parents care when she stays over in their basement?
## Walls1337bot: ##
No. He lives with her, her 3 kids and her whore friend who set them up. Apparently she decided to skin it up in some sort of White Trash Commune.....that's a good band name
## Speaker_2: ##
Damn dude that's super shitty, sorry to hear that happened.
This thread is obviously 95% shit advice/jokes but if you seriously want to invest that money wisely to increase your net worth, put it toward some courses to get a better job. Check out your local colleges for some classes in business admin, project management, web design, etc.. Something interesting that's employable in your local area.
If you truly want to stick it to her and make her regret it, NOT flying off the handle and wasting it on hookers and blow will be the best strategy. Using the breakup to motivate you in a more successful direction is what you should do. And as your net worth increases through a better job, so will the quality of the women you attract.
I know it sucks getting dumped, especially in the way shit went down. But these feelings will pass. To be honest it sounds like you dodged a bullet so fuck her. Not letting her influence your decisions is the best way to move on. Good luck faggit.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Thanks phagit, but I love my job very much and wouldn't change it for the world. I'm just petty. Also, competitive. That's why it's driving me crazy. It will pass, however. Thanks for the kind words though.

Why does he care so much? If he runs a successful company, the shorts will burn in time.
It’s almost as if he’s initiating excuses for when the company struggles with debt more
“Short sellers are why x, y, z didn’t happen!”
## Speaker_1: ##
The shorts are actively trying to cause the price to go down.
They pay for hit-pieces in the rags and cause problems with the suppliers, et. al.
## Speaker_2: ##
Isn't that just free market efficiency though? The company obviously has a vested interest in good news getting out, short sellers have an interest in the bad news getting out, when both are active the consumer has access to more information and the market will decide accordingly
## Speaker_3: ##
Nah because its harder for a company to spread misinformation but short sellers can produce unverifiable hit pieces so its not a fair information market
## Walls1337bot: ##
I don’t think Tesla has an issue with false information being spread. The problem is that the goals musk sets are sometimes nearly impossible to achieve. Even if I have to say that these impossible goals made Tesla possible in the first place.
