Shorters Shorter WTF are Shorters27 Aug 2025 13:30
Alastair Ford who writes for Proactive gave this brief description ;-
There are many ways the shorts operate, but one common pattern involves targeting a company that needs to raise money, driving the shares lower and keeping them low, buying into the funding at an artificially depressed price and then selling later. Sometimes the shorts don’t bother buying, they just close out, knowing that the company in any case will be forced to discount its own shares just to carry on existing.
It’s a cruel world.
I very nearly invested heavily in CDL yesterday and am so glad I didnt. That was more luck than judgement!
Gamblers are what we are besides some of the other names we are called by so called intelligent,experienced investors!
