I'm not an investor, I'm out of work, wish I had money to gamble at the moment, but something tells me the smarter move would be creating some sentiment algorithm that invests like $500 every time a positive/electric car article comes out in a competitor. Say Toyota releases new electric car, invest $500 immediately in Toyota, Nissan, do the same, etc... Because when the tide turns all that money will go into whichever competitors are still standing and have the best e-car portfolios. Best to diversify. If you could time it right, sure shortsell, but that's a HUGE risk, this one not so much...again I'm NOT a financial guru, my negative bank account could prove that, but it's just a hunch I have, a similar one I had in 2013 about bitcoin and kick myself daily for every day.
