Citron Research glorifies DOGE and sides with GameStop
The agency’s tweet cited by Chinese cryptocurrency blogger and journalist Colin Wu says that Citron Research is no longer short of GME. Revealing the reason, Citron says it is not because they believe the company’s fundamentals will undergo radical changes in the future, but rather that “with $4 billion in the bank, they have enough runway to appease their cult shareholders.” .
The reason is that they have decided to respect the irrationality of the market. Here they mentioned Dogecoin as an example of a similar asset, which is worth 20 billion dollars in terms of market capitalization and is a kind of representative of “the irrationality of the market”: “We respect the irrationality of the market. After all, Dogecoin is still a $20 billion entity.”
However, according to Reuters, Citron Research founder Andrew Left said that if GME were to hit $45-$50 per share, he would start shorting again.
