If it were so easy to short your competition into the ground you would see Coca Cola short Pepsi, IBM short Microsoft, Adidas short Nike and so on. The fact that it doesn't happen should tell you that it's not such a clever idea a

No, I got it right. Price was 50, tycoon shorts it down to 45, sovereign fund starts buying until it's back to 50 (let's say they got average price 48), now price is back to 50, yet tycoon is short and if he wants to exit his buyi
