I have spent 27 years reading filings and analyzing them because I was paid to do so. Now for some of those years I was only doing for personal reasons. I make mistakes because I am not visionary and can see past massive losses to what be. sadly my initial years were in the old boring stuff like EPS Pe ratios and a lot of retail analysis.

I was researching SEDAR ( Canadian ) filings starting in 93 when we dialed the internet up lol. I am still very bearish on Tesla but I saw two this morning on way back from golf course lol.

I will admit I have not been terribly successful shorting - my paper shorts of scammy penny stocks I made ten billion

Over 300% loan rate for the highest rate in the article?

that is kids stuff

in the last year I saw a stock that had a 20% loan rate, increased to 50%, then 75%...and up and up to: 920%

no kidding

scary stuff for short sellers


Muddy Waters doesn't short stocks simply because they're_"too_high." If you want to successfully short, first become expert at reading filings, and especially accounting-related footnotes, the excruciatingly boring stuff that requires knowledge and hard work. 99.9% of local penny flippers won't do that. Plus obvious short candidates -- Chinese junk for example -- can be very costly to borrow.

Never short a stock just because it pissed you off.
