Citron Research Long Vishay Precision Group (NYSE: VPG):, The Hidden Tesla Optimus Play.
Recently Musk’s pronouncements that Tesla’s future is really in robotics, not EVs. Humanoid robots may be a trillion-dollar market.

While we have had our share of dogs, it is good to update a success story and put it in perspective 5 months after mention
In July of this year while $RGTI was trading near $1, Citron suggested the stock saying it will be an ultimate beneficiary of a quantum computing hype. 5…
Citron pounding the table that $NBIS is poised to be the next AI Wall Street darling.
