"I don’t fathom %20 short on this stock"Really, exchanger..?
Ok, so let's see if I can maybe help out understanding why GXY is
'currently' the most shorted stock on the ASX.
So let's start off by accepting that the principle of shorting GXY is that the shorter borrows the stock from current holders (usually instos and for a fee) and then immediately sells it
'heavily' at a high starting price, with the intention of then seeing the stock's SP fall rapidly to a lower figure, and the further lower, the better, from the shorter's point of view, so that the shorter can then subsequently buy back GXY's stock at a much lower price, which then allows them to return all of the previously borrowed shares to their rightful owner/s, whilst the shorter then pockets the difference between their former high GXY sell, and its then latter lower buy-back, prices.
Now, if enough skittish/horses/sheep/fools can be successfully stampeded and thus parted from their ownership of their GXY shares, as the shorter's initial
'heavy selling' manipulated SP falls rapidly ever lower and lower thanks to
'leveraged' investors/traders
'automatic stops' being triggered on the SP's way down, then so much the better again, because the shorter can then buy/hoover-up even more, truly bargain priced GXY shares, than just the initial number that they first borrowed, with all of their own newly acquired ill-gotten shorting gains but, this time, keeping all of those
'extra' hovered-up GXY shares for themselves, because remember, they've already paid back/returned the shares that they borrowed in the first place.
So now to assist them, in their own nefarious efforts at making the GXY SP fall rapidly ever lower, the shorter also likes to engage in rubbishing the stock's inherent worth at every possible opportunity, and does so to anyone who is truly
'silly-enough' to actually listen, to their purposely contrived combinations of rubbish and outright blatant lies about GXY's current and future company prospects.
You see the shorters for their own success, simply rely upon themselves being able to continually exploit two fundamentally immutable
'Truths' and those are contained in the two old sayings,
"Fools and their money are soon parted" and
"There's literally, one born every minute".
Why do they do this I hear you ask..?
Well, simple really, it's just because they themselves have truly black hearts, and absolutely no, personal scruples, at all, when it comes to themselves
'stealing' other
'more gullible folks' money, with their own purposely concocted GXY shorting
'lies' which could also, I guess, help to explain just why most ordinary folks like to rate shorters on about the same level as the last freshly laid pile of steaming-hot dog's excrement that they stood in on their own footpath.
Now you might of course quite justifiably ask, if GXY is
'truly' as the shorters say,
'such a Dog-Stock' then why on earth, would the shorters themselves ever bother to buy back even more, of their artificially manipulated lower SP, GXY shares, than they had initially borrowed in the first place.
Well, the answer to that question is really very, very, very, simple indeed, and it's just because they, don't ever believe, ..
their..own..lies.. about GXY..!!
You see one of the hallmarks of a truly successful shorter is that they always
'purposely' target stocks with absolutely terrific company fundamentals behind them, just like GXY itself indeed has, because then, they are almost completely certain of not only just pocketing their initial SP sell/buy-back split, but also of themselves then being able to make an absolutely huge Motza as well, on the back of the SP's almost guaranteed later rapid rise again, when
'the market's sentiment' for GXY suddenly turns around, as it inevitably will, given enough time.
So another thing to understand, as well, apart from just this basic desire of the
'retail' shorters own greed to steal money out of the hands of existing GXY share holders is that any overly rapid, and certainly in any way,
'uncontrolled' global rollout of the
'Electrification of Everything' combined with the simultaneous rollout of the
'Internet of Things' all as part of the enormous
'global-disruption' of the looming 4th Industrial Revolution, now risks seeing literally multiple Trillions of dollars worth of existing fossil-fuel linked assets placed at high risk of becoming economically stranded assets, and remember, these same assets are owned by a lot of
'currently' very wealthy and very powerful global vested interests, all of whom, will literally stoop to ..
anything.. including launching a well co-ordinated and well funded Wall St based sector-wide
'professional shorting attack' upon the entire global Lithium production industry, in order to protect their own current at-risk positions of wealth, privilege and power.
Regardless of all of that, IMHO, GXY still has all of the potential to be absolutely one of the best, Lithium performance stocks on the ASX over the coming few years, for any of us who simply have a longer term view than just trading daily, for pips, and, of course, the also necessary amount of patience, ..
just like 'the instos' do..! Now, do you
"fathom" just why, there's currently
"%20 short (blood-sucking-parasites) on this stock"..?? Hope that helps.
