Short-Selling In 2021: Beware The Crowded Trade, And Eyes On Nvidia
Manage episode 298830394 series 2964575
"I'd rather short a real company than a fraud or a meme stock."
Akram's Razor made this case on a recent Twitter Space, and we unpack the point on today's episode of the Razor's Edge. In a year when many short-sellers have been run over by trains, and have the AMC and GME shaped scars to prove it, betting against a popular, universally loved name may actually be safer. We go over Akram's historic approach to shorting, how that has to adapt to the current market, what the line is between a meme stock and an ordinary dud, and Nvidia's current position, which is more precarious than the market seems to be pricing in.
Topics Covered- 2:30 minute mark – Akram's historic shorting approach vs. the current market
