> Tesla has a ~30% short interest, which contributes to the ridiculous volatility of the stock.

As a TSLA investor who owns several thousand shares, is there any way I can take advantage of this? I'm always looking for a way to generate more cash to acquire more TSLA.




Ask your brokerage if your shares are being put out for rent. If they are, you are getting fees from letting people take short positions.


They're at TD Ameritrade in an institutional account managed by an automated Y Combinator investment firm. How do you determine which brokerage firms lend shares out for shorts?


not to derail your interesting question (which I also want to know the answer to), but I'm super curious about that account: managed by an automated y combinator investment firm? can you elaborate on what that means?

I put cash into our (mine and my wife's) retirement accounts every month, they auto-rebalance it to optimize returns and tax savings.

They have the ability to lock securities in your accounts so their algorithm doesn't touch them, but I asked them to move my TSLA stock to distinct IRA/ROTH IRA accounts just to be safe.
