Part 9/12:
Tesla’s stock faces both bullish enthusiasm and bearish skepticism. While retail investors are pouring in a record $8 billion over two weeks—calling the current level a potential bottom—short sellers have increased their bets by 15% over the past two months, betting on a decline. Interestingly, both buying and shorting are rising simultaneously, indicating deep market polarization.
Some industry observers, like Gary Black, remain optimistic, estimating Tesla’s valuation could easily reach $1,000 per share in the future, citing Tesla’s energy and software profits as undervalued components. Conversely, others warn that Tesla’s stock is heavily priced for a collapse driven by negative media narratives and short seller manipulations.
