If you could short Tesla at a price of $135,000 per share, would you do it? I sure as hell would, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with my feelings about Tesla's business, except that it's not worth $135,000 per share today.



All right, but the "real" value of a stock is just one factor. Another one is the well-documented tendency of the public to be swept up in fervor for a company and an equity for reasons other than true value. That's another horse to ride.


Indeed. You buy when you think the the company undervalued and sell when you think it is overvalued. The order in which you do that is irrelevant and signals no emotion.
