Why Don’t More People Know How To Short Sell: A Look At The Worldwide Carnage

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Tue 28th of Oct, 2008 09:45:42 PM

I’ve been getting a lot of confused emails from people wondering why every day now I’m so happy/cocky/bragging, after all, I teach/trade/write about the stock market so I must be feeling the pain the entire industry is, right?

You dumb pieces of brainwashed-by-now-insolvent-financial-firms-marketing-to-you shit, I’m primarily a short seller, I make $ when stocks go down…and you can you.

My new ShortStocking instructional DVD will be shipped in less than a month–you can pre-order here and save 10%–and in those 4-discs/6 hours, along with its 220-page instruction manual, I will teach you everything I know about Short Selling.

Namely, how I used this greatly misunderstood strategy to make $1 million+, become the #1 ranked short bias hedge fund manager 2003-2006 (Barclays) and now owe much of my 150% gain in the last year to it.

I promise, once you understand the variables involved, Short Selling is not that hard, it’s actually quite easy.

It’s just that up until now, there really has never been a solid book/study guide on how to profit from Short Selling, which is sad/makes it all too easy for me.

So look at the worldwide carnage so far this year and cheer up, soon, you’ll learn how to profit from it and you too will laugh at all those who are stuck as being forever bullish:

    Maybe should focus on Risk Management and sell consultancy on hedging against forex variations to awfully scared CFOs.

    Tim, great site - question for you

    I read your book, and you use long and short strategies - but based on your site it seems that know you focus more on short positions? Or both?

    Thank you
  • i still buy, but only hype-related breakouts, none of those going on right now
  • So much negative percentages? About 16 countries are down by more than 50%. That should imply that the living of many must have changed drastically.
