Tesla: 'Maximum Short'
Chanos is still "maximum short" Tesla Inc TSLA and his best against the electric auto-maker is "one of my favorite positions," he said.
Chanos was telling clients in early 2020 that Tesla's parabolic surge towards $1,000 per share, in part due to a surge in retail buyers rushing to the stock, he said.
Despite the increased activity, "nothing's changed" at the company-level position, namely, it will "lose money this year."
Tesla's stock traded down 4.9% to $457.86 per share at time of publication. The stock has a 52-week high of $968.99 per share and a 52-week low of $176.99.
