This David Einhorn lost billions shorting Amazon, Netflix, Tesla claiming at the time that they were over valued. Just because he was previously right on 2 occasions, specifically when he betted against Lehman Brothers and became a somewhat ‘celebrity’ hedge-fund manager, he thinks he is always right and smarter than others. And even after Amazon, Netflix and Tesla made tremendous gains and proved him wrong he still refuses to just admit he was wrong to under-estimate them. Or that his way of evaluating their fair value could be flawed. Really dislike his attitude and inflated ego. Then whining and whinging when markets or the Fed don’t go his way. He should just keep quiet and go away...

  Yes - shh to him !

Greenlight Capital’s David Einhorn is upset, particularly with regulators. He has a long list of gripes, ranging from the Federal Reserve’s handling of inflation to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s lack of action on everything from Robinhood toGameStop.\nEinhorn’s complaints regarding the Fed are boilerplate. The Fed has the job of keeping inflation in check, but is now willing to let inflation rise above its long-term target. He doesn’t like the new laissez-faire attitude about rising prices.\nBut Einhorn’s harshest words in a letter published Thursday were reserved for the SEC. Its job is to ensure fair trading, but Einhorn writes that it seems to have no interest in investigating spikes in the stock prices of tiny companies or statements from prominent figures such asTesla’sElon Musk and Chamath Palihapitiya that he likens to pouring “jet fuel on the GME squeeze.”\n“There is no cop on the beat,” Einhorn writes. “Companies and managements that are emboldened enough to engage in malfeasance have little to fear.”\nWith Greenlight returning just 5.2% in 2020—theS&P 500returned 18%— Einhorn’s rant could seem like sour grapes if the issues he raises weren’t so serious.\nEinhorn calls on Congress to grill absentee regulators instead of interviewing Roaring Kitty.\nIt would be a start.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":379466197,"gmtCreate":1618790635119,"gmtModify":1704714817340,"author":{"id":"3559128077154435","authorId":"3559128077154435","name":"Ronchan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/44cc3fba457549bd6dbe449c8aa6c640","vip":1,"crmLevel":8,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Einhorn is clearly a sore loser...","listText":"Einhorn is clearly a sore loser...","text":"Einhorn is clearly a sore loser...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379466197","repostId":1131521200,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":379580860,"gmtCreate":1618761893750,"gmtModify":1704714664714,"author":{"id":"3581507214951045","authorId":"3581507214951045","name":"DT97","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9f0d88cfaf797034db16b676d5d09342","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Hi","listText":"Hi","text":"Hi","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379580860","repostId":1131521200,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":379519952,"gmtCreate":1618760420776,"gmtModify":1704714653493,"author":{"id":"3573821515865359","authorId":"3573821515865359","name":"JHx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/54eb39bebd911124a59d7bf934977d25","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Hmm","listText":"Hmm","text":"Hmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379519952","repostId":1131521200,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":379508528,"gmtCreate":1618755946064,"gmtModify":1704714617173,"author":{"id":"3567913702226999","authorId":"3567913702226999","name":"Someday","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/91b0144da7b9357384cef5bfff37ced7","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Zzzz","listText":"Zzzz","text":"Zzzz","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379508528","repostId":1131521200,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":379509708,"gmtCreate":1618755459604,"gmtModify":1704714613457,"author":{"id":"3574648007139021","authorId":"3574648007139021","name":"LJYOng","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/91373d78bbf6246d84bedbc8a6a24b00","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Is this true?","listText":"Is this true?","text":"Is this true?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/379509708","repostId":1131521200,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":4067249,"gmtCreate":1618760434552,"gmtModify":1680784558646,"authorId":3573821515865359,"author":{"id":3573821515865359,"authorId":3573821515865359,"name":"JHx","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/54eb39bebd911124a59d7bf934977d25","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":379509708,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"hopefully not","text":"hopefully not","html":"hopefully not"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":379220508,"gmtCreate":1618748989704,"gmtModify":1704714556938,"author":{"id":"3576275613425159","authorId":"3576275613425159","name":"Lynny","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7c0b8b78e97626dedf9ed61da1957ab7","vip":1,"crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"This David Einhorn lost billions shorting Amazon, Netflix, Tesla claiming at the time that&nbsp;they were over valued.
