Those sensational headlines. TSLA is 22% below the peak 3 trading days ago. Can we have a silly headline like this, given the change in market cap? > TSLA bull

  the shorts had to cover their positions, doesn't matter how the stock is doing days or weeks after that..."The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" and all.

    It's very hard to short stocks. Most high flyers will eventually collapse. The problem is that you can't tell the difference between the bubbles and the actual winners. You don't have to cover your shorts unless you breach a limit that the brokerage has set. That limit is based on how much liquidity you have. I suspect the majority of the shorts that can continue to hold their position are still shorting hoping to get out at a better price.

    are the shorts all emotive humans saying "damn it I lost money, boo hoo!", or is much of that money just bundled up money hedging against something and doesn't really care.
