That's what I keep telling myself too. I've shorted TSLA way before Bury, and already made my peace with the losses. The truth is that if you get squeezed out of a short you were wrong. The result is all that matters. This kind of stuff is why most investors do not ever short anything at all (best example: Buffett & Munger), as you can be "right" and still lose. On the long side you cannot be squeezed out of a position. Traders, market makers and other "technical" participants such as HFTs - that's a different story, their use of shorting is kind of more sensible.
