"The Envy of The World" - The Economist, October, 2024
Let's ask the short-sellers from 2025:
Last year was a tough one for U.S. short sellers, who ended the year with losses of $217 billion on a marked-to-market basis.
S3 Partners, which tracks short sellers, said that short sellers had a 14.75 percent loss, compared with a gain for the S&P 500 of 16.39 percent.
“Most short positions were unprofitable, with 70 percent of every dollar shorted being losers,” said Ihor Dusaniwsky,head of predictive analytics at S3 Partners.
