Dont try this at home. you will lose your shorts.

This thread will be about which stock to short. In other words which stocks are overvalued.

I will start with Tesla motors, google and facebook.

Locally, short MEME

Re: Dont try this at home. you will lose your shorts.

We are covering our short position on MEME. Activity has picked up. A new sword fighter is in town. And the Chuckster approves.

PS. Hope everyone has their shorts on.

Re: Dont try this at home. you will lose your shorts.

tesla may be over-valued, but it is going to be overvalued for a long time (imho). and stands a good chance to be the face of the future of automobiling in the western world.

Re: Dont try this at home. you will lose your shorts.

Good point. Wont dare to argue with Hreem Chamundaye.

Will check how each of the shorts have done so far.

Re: Dont try this at home. you will lose your shorts.

March 9 was Sunday. So Friday mar 7 closing price compared to today mar 8 closing price.

Stock. Mar 7. Apr 8
Tesla. 246.2. 215.4. Down13%
Goog. 607. 555. Down 8.3%
FB. 69.8. 58.2. Down 17%

S&P500. 1878. 1852. Down 1.4%

So on average the shorter stocks down 9.4% in 1 month. While market down only 1.4%. We will take that

Re: Dont try this at home. you will lose your shorts.

Note that today all 3 stocks up significantly. Else the shorts would have looked more better.

Tesla up 3.7% todsy
Google up 3.1%
FB up 2%.

Or 2.9 ho on average

Market up only 0.4% today.

So if that calf was done yesterday, the mkt outperformace woukd have been 2.5% better. Or 10.5% instead of 8%.
