Cory,
You might want to read up on the history of Snapple. An analysis much like yours was quite correct for this stock market darling ofthe 90’s. No matter. An acquirer came along anyway and caused large losses for the short sellers.
Valuation arguments like yours make giant losses for short sellers all the time. Every hear of a company called Amazon?
To make money from shorting, it’s not enough to be “right.” A short seller has to be “right” at the right time, which is much harder.
Also, there needs to be a way to actually short the company, which there isn’t for Uber at the moment.
BTW giving stock market advice in a public forum is risky in its own right. Have you talked to your lawyer about “safe harbor” provisions?
