$TSLA am not an expert on shorting stocks, just your average Joe with a Casio calculator. But for the 1st time ever, the time looks ripe for a short. Let me elaborate. To start, if you read my previous post, it established a troubling fact pattern that is a good premise. (1/N)
I see, you mean a fund that deliberately doesn’t track its index like iShares R2k vs SPDR R2k? Yeah that could have an impact for some small stocks. But most large cap index funds try for perfect replication, and TSLA is one of the biggest stocks in the index!

What I am getting from this is that the “passive funds will need to sell if the price falls” argument does not work. At all.

Only way to make the argument work to me is if you consider imperfect replication, and the more the price falls the less interesting it is to own the stock (I think that's in this context that @alexharfouche1 refers to a convex effect)

I'd say the "imperfect" tracking from those kinds of ETFs is mostly due to market effects during exchanges. If you look at the NAV of those and compare it to the actual index, there's close to no tracking error (and both ETFs seem to use some sort of sampling)pic.twitter.com/0bDtPM7tpv
