I honestly don't think instos care about the short percentages against companies. I think it should be ruled out as a possible deterrent to why instos aren't investing.
Tesla, Amazon, Uber have all had huge positions against them and come through fine.
Even Affirm has had massive shorts against it and it's SP is sailing along once again.
There's way too much emphasis put on these shorts IMO.
I can't say why there isn't a major insto invested. I don't believe it's because of the shorts or the volatility though, considering Affirm has been through the same shit and many other companies have too.
My best guess is honestly Afterpay was the main target for so long and instos wanted a piece of it instead of Zip and were likely waiting for an entry point with their capital.
There isn't a better argument than that I think. I mean just take into account the amount of instos that were purportedly circling Afterpay before it's takeover. That is pretty telling of who they all wanted to be involved with.
Who can blame them though. Afterpay did a great job. It definitely isn't anything negative against Zip though. It's just a case of the instos wanting to be involved with the market leader, which is completely understandable considering historical trends of market leaders being more stable and more likely to succeed.
From a risk management point of view, Afterpay was the right choice for them because it was ahead of all the rest and therefore more stable.
