Citron Research activist short seller and newsletter author Andrew Left has earned a reputation for accusing companies of fraud and deception and profiting off of their downfall.
This week, Left turned his attention to 2016 market leader NVIDIA Corporation NVDA 0.17%, tweeting that he believes the market “is disregarding headwinds” for the company and predicting shares would return to the $90 level in 2017. NVIDIA stock plunged 6.8 percent on the day of Citron’s tweet and were down 3 percent on the final trading session of the year.

In March 2016, Citron targeted Tesla Motors Inc TSLA 1.33% on Twitter, calling for the stock to dip “to $100 by year’s end.” The $100 prediction didn’t come true, but Tesla’s shares fell 3.1 percent following the tweet.
