MrCjmoney, do you also have Sherperd Investment newsletter? What's your opinion on it? It claimed some stellar performance in the past 3 years, up 50% by staying in treasury bonds. Thanks,

Opposite viewpoint from you on short sellers, mrcjmoney.

I see them mostly as trend followers and short termers. Lots of amateur shorters who believe that you can make money in any market and since stocks have been down three years, ergo bet on further downside. Simple premise. (which I don't agree with)

No evidence that I see that shorters are more "sophisticated" than buyers of the same stock. Shorters promulgate the idea that they have studied a particular stock more than buyers. Propaganda with no proof imo.

Greenberg largely reflects a hedge fund gossip network that you see echoed through others on SI and beyond. Sometimes he is right, but their errors can be colossally wrong like NFI. They draw people in to heavily shorted stocks that often squeeze like a bottle rocket.

And you will never hear "oops we were wrong" from any of them. They dine out on the winners and ignore their losers.
