Tesla is the most shorted stock in the market - and investors have bet against it more than any other name for 3 straight months

• Tesla was the most shorted US large-cap stock for the third consecutive month in August, securities firm Hazeltree said.
• Charter Communications and Apple were the second and third most shorted large-cap names.
• Tesla stock rallied as much as 10% on Monday after Morgan Stanley published a bullish research note.

Tesla was the most shorted large-cap stock in US markets last month, securities firm Hazeltree found in a new report.

Researchers wrote that Elon Musk's EV maker topped the list for the third consecutive month. A short position means investors are betting that the share price of a company will decline.
