Forget about Cramer vs. Stewart, did you guys happen to catch The Daily Show’s battle with Short Selling a few days ago?

Ripping on CNBC & the whole manipulative Money Honey thing (remember THIS is what Bitchy Bartiromo realllly looks like), The Daily Show interviews the I-don’t-know-how-to-run-a-business-so-I’ll-blame-short-sellers-for-my-incompetence OverStock.com CEO Patrick Byrne & The Disciplined Investor Andrew Horowit (no “z” anymore)

Short Selling isn’t evil or unpatriotic, our nation just has a ton of idiots and sentimentality will get you nowhere on Wall Street….survival of the fittest, as always, shed no tears for the passing of dinosaurs.

Watch the video and a.) get angy that I wasn’t on it as I’d rip that honey bee bitch apart and b.) understand that Horowit was up last year and dominated the MSN joke of a Strategy Lab, a competition in which false guru Ken Kam proved how much he sucks–see results HERE

Stay tuned, my girlfriend and I are gonna put together a more realistic video on Short Selling…I despise misinformation.

    What a fucking joke. This has me so pissed off. I can not wait to short something come Monday morning with a huge smile on my face.

    Good job Andrew! He and the silly bee lady was too funny giving "high fives". LOL. Don't know why the hell she is reporting on Short Selling ... I don't believe she knows anything about it.

    Andrew had it right about Crocs. A company that make one type of expensive rubber shoe and whose stock is over $50 a share. It was only a matter of time before the market realized that Crocs was an over-valued company. If I were trading Stocks and/or Penny Stocks back then, I would have jumped on the boat with Andrew and would have ride that short until the very end.

    Tim, in still wondering, does short selling really pushes stock prices down? Naked short selling would be a different story...but normal shorting for a couple of 100K dollar isnt gonna make a company go bankrupt. If a company dies, its because it sucks right..not because some ppl decided to short ...right?

    Looks to me like there were several cut in order
    To prove points. Funny

  • best way to counter short selling is for companies to do well...if they did, theyd squeeze all the shorts and push their stocks higher!
  • younggunz
    yesh dsily show just like any other news station just cut and isolate what they need to fit whst their own biased opinion is. they wanted to make a story about short sellers being evil and destroying companies and leave a lot of film on the edit room floor. short sellers wouldn't be shorting a stock if there wasn't already an unbalance in their value vs their price.
  • Chef Biggsby
    Yes, it's true that if companies simply did better they would actually make the stock price go higher. I think the problem is that this is in exchange for the stock potentially going lower in the face of some manufactured news or even just a broad market scare in which float would be liquidating their positions causing short sellers ,who have no tangible reason to sell the stock other than that they think it will go down, to all jump on the bandwagon and sell sell sell. At the end of the day what all of this really amounts to is an increased amount of volatility in the price of the stock, which is excellent for traders and not so great for companies.

Who Is Timothy Sykes And Why Should I Care?

See Tim's full bio HERE. Tim turned a few thousand dollars into a few million by taking small gains time after time on hundreds of volatile penny stocks, discovering that his trading strategy, while consistently successful, works best for those with smaller accounts.

Determined to teach others this PennyStocking trading strategy (learn more HERE), he went back to his original $12,415 roots (already $58,000+ even though the stock market has crashed) to show everyone how to turn thousands into millions, even while having a life (somewhat) and making plenty of mistakes. Currently he is the #1 ranked trader out of 25,000+ on Covestor)

How Can I Consistently Make Money In The Stock Market?

Hard work, Determination and Know How.

Hard work to learn how the greatly misunderstood niche of penny stocks provides opportunities every now and then on which you should pounce.

Determination to seek those probable profits out and know how in order to actually profit from them.

Long story short, wait for stocks that are extremely volatile - for whatever reason - and then aim to take small profits (between 10 and 50% within a few hours, days or weeks) here and there, either from betting on higher or lower prices (yes, you can make $ betting on lower prices, it's called Shortstocking (learn more HERE).

Why Penny Stocks?

As Tim explains in several ALL-NEW instructional DVDs (see them HERE) and in over 2000+ blog posts, penny stocks are the most hyped and corrupt niche in the entire investment world. These two qualities make them the easiest to profit from (legally) because the vast majority of people who play penny stocks are suckers and all-around ignorant people. If you have any intelligence whatsoever, you have a clear advantage and it's like playing basketball against mental midgets.

Where Do You Find Stocks To Trade?

This is the #1 FAQ (see more HERE) and it is answered in THIS instructional DVD.

Of course, that's just a brief introduction - to receive a full education, there is Tim's book An American Hedge Fund which is the story of his remarkable rise and lessons learned.

To truly increase your odds at profit, Tim has designed an entire set of detailed instructional DVDs, covering all the variables that amount to over 24 hours of instruction (see them all HERE)!
