The comments here are hilarious. The man has been offering something countercyclical that his sophisticated clients consider worthwhile for decades. Criticize all you want, not very many people have this mans career and he's achieved it in a very competitive and transparent field.
Back then 100y ago. How many more companies did he short and loose. He neither predicted. Com crash nore the financial crash and list his shirt with tesla
When you put your money at risk on a stock going down - you are obviously predicting the stock will go down. He predicted it to go down - the short is proof of it.
@singed8853 he also predicted tesla to crash and lost his reputation over it. Betting stocks will go down isn't much different than betting they go up once you do options trading. Hindenburg goes out and does their own investigation. If you don't have proof you're guessing like everyone else.
