If you've been following the stock market, you now know what short selling is and perhaps the mechanics of short selling. If not, short selling refers to selling a stock without owning it. Although this practice has been recognized as a legitimate strategy, short sellers having been put on notice this past week.
Andrew Left is the founder of Citron Research and is one of Wall Street’s most prominent short-sellers. Andrew Left likes publicity and/or just knows how to benefit from it. Andrew Left is the famous short seller who has made a several headlines over the last 12 months.
Andrew Left made headlines around this time last year, whe he said Peloton was heading to $5 by the end of 2020 unless Peloton invents a piece of equipment that works out for you. Andrew's thesis was Peloton’s enterprise valuation didn't make sense compared to Planet Fitness and Fitbit. Peloton trades at $146 now.
However, after taking a major “L” on GameStop (he covered all his shorts at $90 for a 100% loss), Andrew Left said that after 20 years, his company Citron Research will finally exit the profitable business of writing reports on businesses whose value might fall in the near future.
