LCIDLucid Motors
Strongly BearishLucid reaches a new all-time high short interest (33.64%, exceeding prior record of 33.61%) driven by 291k new shares shorted, as the market deals with a bull trap caused by Bank of Japan rate hike fears. The host pulled his own buy signal on LCID when it was at $12-13 and describes the chart as 'the definition of a falling knife.' He criticizes management for never addressing shorts and notes the PIF could theoretically eliminate the short position but chooses not to.
Key Arguments
- New all-time high short interest: 33.64% (exceeded prior record of 33.61%), 291k shares added
- Bank of Japan rate hike (Thursday evening) is creating macro liquidity pressure
- Host personally pulled his LCID buy signal at $12-13 — key personal risk signal
- Chart described as 'the definition of a falling knife' — stochastic RSI at 25 (oversold) but no buyers
- PIF could theoretically use its resources to force out shorts but has not done so
- Lucid management has never addressed shorts on earnings calls — suspicious silence
- Stochastic RSI at 25 is oversold but not causing any institutional FOMO buying
