Brian, Roger may be the most experienced short trader in the world. My point is, why ask for a reason not to short it, if he can't even offer one sentence on why he wants to short elon? I don't care if an investor wants to short the stock. At least, present your case (albeit, in brevity if you must). I wouldn't ask "why shouldn't I short csco?" without stating why I thought I should (i.e. poor fundamentals, loss of a key customer, poor earnings growth, over-bought stock). Everyone makes their money however they want. I like to do whatever is working too. But at the very least, Roger can present his case. If his opinions are valid, I may very well become a short and not a long of elon.
The key reasons that I have bought the stock are listed on the gorilla game board. I think the alliances, and the market potential offer a good risk/reward for ME. Not for you or Roger. I could short the stock myself if I changed my opinion on Monday. All I'm saying is at least state why you think so, in order to create discourse. If one wants a financial planner, pay for one.
Your statement that most stocks retrace is valid. But we are not talking about most stocks, we are talking about elon alone. I focus upon a stock when, in my opinion - based upon my dd, I perceive a catalyst to exist. I'm not long elon based upon ta, I'm long elon based upon the book "The Gorilla Game", and my dd of the company. The prospects, which I can go into detail about, if you so care, are what have caused me to be long.
Asking Roger to state his position is not to much to ask in the course of a debate regarding elon's merits. Good luck, regardless of whether you are long or short. |
