Yea money is flowing from hedge funds who are short to retail investors as the stock runs up, but once it inevitably moves back down it will be the retail bag holders inflicted with massive losses.
- curiousgal 6y agoWouldn't the short sellers have to buy all of what they shorted from the retail investors?
- xadhominemx 6y agoShort sellers cover their borrowed shares. They are not left with any stock after they close their trade.
- ericmay 6y agoPeople say that, but plenty of hedge funds and other investors will lose money too. It’s not “hedge fund win, retail loses”. There is a mix. Not just do some of the shorts (maybe many?) lose money, some of the hedge funds on the buy side will get caught too if this comes down fast enough.
