The trend line is up, and certain unscrupulous execs feel like this would be a good time to embellish facts, make lofty assumptions, and trick investors into investing in their company. You've done your due diligence. Your short position research is sound and you've already executed your short thesis. Perhaps you found an accounting "stretch" in their books. Perhaps you've seen their customer base is eroding, or you see their competitors beating them and their model is unsustainable. Convince us of your short thesis; we will put skin in the game, go short as well, and shine a light on our target to the investment community. We will get the truth out!
The market could care less about fair market value. The market could care less about lofty P/E ratios. The market could care less about your thesis. What market participants care about is making money. So if your short thesis has some information in their that can truly harm their future prospects of making money, then you may have a hot hand. Examples include accounting fraud, untruthful claims, exaggerated prospects etc. If you don't have a strong short thesis, in this bull market, then all we can say is good luck to you!
