It has nothing to do with them being short and everything to do with the word "activist". Activist investors are full of shite'..quite frankly...all activists are full of shite'. The Company is in Insurance....of course it's dicey. They all are.
I don't care which side of the trade it is....a write up on hindsight is nothing more than exploitation. The same as a write up on foresight. They are both pitch pieces. That's all.
