I just missed a chance to turn $1000 bucks to $10,000.
The car rental company has just over 20% of its shares shorted, according to data from Koyfin. With the stock at all-time-highs, that means every short position is underwater. And given Tuesday's market value gain of more than $25 billion, the shorts are already down billions of dollars.
Avis is a popular short with institutional investors that employ a pair-trading strategy, meaning while they're betting against the stock, they're also long shares of $HERTZ GLOBAL HOLDINGS INC (HTZGQ.US)$, a competing car rental company. Hertz only has a short interest of 0.5%.
