How can I profit when Uber collapses Veeky Forums?

They don't seem to be registered in the stock market yet...

because they don't need to. they have enough money being privately held.

Going long on big taxi companies obviously. Seems highly speculative though.

From a logistics standpoint, there is no way taxi takes back its market. Uber destroys it in pretty much every facet; cost, options, service, etc.

Am I missing something?

How delusional are you exactly? Its game over, son.

That's why I said it was highly speculative. I mean, obviously it would depend on what made it crash. I assumed OP meant that there would be some new law or whatever that made Uber illegal in some Western countries. (Which is highly unlikely imo since f.e. they just got a big law in their favor in Belgium). If it were to crash due to a superior competitor then obviously invest in that.

But just to reiterate: I see no reason for thinking it will crash. What's your reasoning OP?

short sell anything that's correlated to uber

uber either gets outlawed or subject to the same rules and legislation as taxis.
they become just an other a a taxi company in the end.

>subject to the same rules and legislation as taxis
This is what I figured, eventually.
How are they substantially different anyway?

right now they have a market advantage of the regulation gap they exist in. taxi drivers are furious they already achieved in my country that uber drivers get plates pulled and a huge fine if they don't adhere to taxi regulation to the letter.
