Signaling for Lyft is visible at NASDAQ MarketSite in Times Square on its IPO on the NASDAQ Stock Market in New York, USA, on March 29, 2019.

The four-day Lyft stock faced a new threat: short sellers.

The short-term interest adds uncertainty to Lyft who already had a difficult start to his public offering. The title jumped 9% in its debut, then 12% on its second day of trading. It is always difficult to return to its introductory price at $ 72.

"Even successful businesses often stumble," said Pierson, pointing out that Facebook shares had fallen more than 50 percent in the first three months of trading.
