Narratives
LCIDLucid Motors
MixedDespite good PPI and jobless claims data, Lucid fell sharply due to tariff escalation fears (potential tariffs on France) and geopolitical noise. Uniquely, shorts are adding to Lucid while returning shares to other heavily-shorted names, suggesting targeted manipulation. The speaker believes this pullback is not fully justified and that big money will eventually buy back in.
Key Arguments
- Shorts increased 3.33M shares specifically against Lucid while other shorted stocks see covering – targeted manipulation
- Good macro data (PPI, jobless claims) should have been bullish but tariff escalation fears outweighed it
- Options market shows consensus for recovery to $2.50 soon; some bets on sub-$1 by June-August 2025
- Speaker believes the pullback is not fully justified and expects a recovery once macro noise clears
