Big short on Tesla: Huge bets on tumbling Tesla stock

Published

on

In January this year the Tesla share price hit a record high of 880 US Dollars.

Since then it’s been a very different story for Elon Musk’s company, and the short sellers are watching.

So for anyone who’s interested in the investing world…of even if you just love Christian Bale and Ryan Gosling you must have seen the movie ‘The Big Short’…

The man, the myth, Matthew Mccaungheny.

Anyway, so the movie follows the real lives of several financial-industry professionals in the mid-2000s—tracking the rise and then collapse of the real estate market…

Christian Bale plays the character of Michael Burry…he’s best known for his ‘billion-dollar short’ against the US housing bubble and he made money….

Fast forward to today and Burry has done it again…slamming Tesla’s stock price as “ridiculous”…

Our ‘market strategist Daniel Weiner’ breaks down how big he’s betting.

Burry has been scathing of Tesla, comparing the company hype to the dot-com phase and housing bubbles, he even told shareholders to quote “enjoy it while it lasts”

So why is he so confident the share price is too hot?

On March 31 this year Burry”s investment firm held bearish ‘put options’ on over 800 thousand Tesla shares…

This now gives him the right to sell those shares – worth around $534 million – at a specified “strike price” before a certain date…

If Tesla’s stock price falls below the strike price before the options expire, Burry can sell his shares for a profit…
