Bronte Capital Amalthea Fund made the following comment about Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ:FFIE) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:
“There is no doubt we are facing a different environment for shorting than in previous years. In late 2020 and early 2021 we discussed what we saw as the greatest retail mania in living memory, arguably even more extreme than the dot-com bubble.
We described finding good short candidates at the time as like “shooting fish in a barrel”. It really was easy, until the fish started shooting back. Risk management and not stock identification was the name-of-the-game.
Over the last two years, this mania has dissipated to a significant extent.
For example, we finally covered our short in Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ:FFIE). Faraday Future, like Nikola, was another hyped electric vehicle company. A running Bronte joke is that this bubble will continue until the name of every giant of 19th Century science has their name besmirched. Faraday Future was the sort of rubbery company we would once have happily shorted at $300-400 million in market cap. At the height of the bubble Faraday Future (a SPACi of course) had a market cap over $5 billion. It has now fallen to a market cap of $25m with a share price down over 99.9% from peak.”
