Selling Short - How To Profit From A Stock Market Crash

[nikhilkash92]

Is the broker going to charge some interest on say a daily basis or on monthly basis for the deposited money?

[EsteVato4242]

that's the best 11 minutes and 15 second investment I've made. i get the concept of short selling now...thanks for putting that together.

Very usual information.  I very aware of selling short, but it was nice to know that if ever run into problems that I can get useful information from here.

...what if your stockbroker won't (or can't) give you back your deposit?

[drkevincampbell]

What about using leveraged inverse ETF's?

Nice to see some practical examples of trading (just watched your Trading the gap also). I started to get interested in stocks some years ago but I started my account this spring (not the best of times to start I guess). I bought some stocks just to get a feel for it but of course I lost on that but I consider that learning. Right now I try to use Bear products.

Keep up your work. It is inspiring and educationally for a lot of newbies I guess.

good video.

Pretty simple but maybe that means it is well explained.

Keep up the good work.

Excellent. I only opened my first trading account 2 months ago after seeing an article on Zerohedge. I put a small short on BAC and I'm in profit. Didn't know what I was doing but now I do. :D

[TheEricsson900]

Simple and detailed explanation... Great !!!

Good video, very easy to understand. After going over the basic Ford example, it would have been useful to me if the next example included a case where the price went up, at least temporarily, and what the broker would require in that instance. Also, do you normally put in a stop with the broker when the short sale is initiated to prevent a bigger than expected loss in the event that the price rises unexpectedly?

Useful and easy to understand, thanks Alessio!

@drqpt shorting is risky just like buying is risky. I like options because I feel it costs much less to go long or short, yet they have a time-decay and expiration risk. The "bear trap" is going long / buying, in error, thinking the break out is coming when in fact it's a bear market. Bull-trap is the opposite. Bear-traps are newbies buying in "cheap" only to see prices drop even harder.

[ytgv3fc7]

hm, I have a question: I noticed the time premiums on BAC are getting really small, compared to other options, and of course one can simply short. If you short a stock but then it's de-listed, what happens to your trade?

[bloooby]

I stumbled upon your youtube site before your bbc interview went viral. since the last crash i have become very interested about the economy and how the stock market works etc.. problem is that im still a student and tho your videos are very informative, I still need the starting capital to make use of it.. but keep those videos coming.. im puting this information in use somewhere in the future (:

[Luiyi385]

Thanks for the video.

They have banned selling short in several countries in Europe and think also in Asia lately. They say it's to help the stock market not go down as much, but really it is proven that it is useless as it's gone down even more.

[TheFishtrap]

If the stock goes up, your trailing stop throws you out of your position only having to pay the % that you set your trailing stop at? Correct?

[ytgv3fc7]

@TheFishtrap PLUS some delta/distance from the stop to reality due to timing errors, because if you want to pay for a guaranteed stop that will cost you extra OR in my case my brokerage doesn't even offer such a thing.

search this on you tube

[maxplatinum]

What if the stock goes up ? then you pay the difference ?

Great videos, really. I will watch each one you make.

[indexmoon]

what happens if there is a takeover announcement and the price of the shares doubles overnight ?

[Boyd0006]

Thanks very much for the vid btw!



[Boyd0006]

What incentive is there for the broker to lend out the shares? there must be a fee involved? or do they make use of the deposit?

[TheFishtrap]

Stupid question Alessio, bear with me. Who or what covers the profit spreads in a "short" position. I'm taking that the novice trader or 401k investor that doesn't know how or doesn't have access to "shorting" is buying on the pull back so to speak? Don't they also call that cost averaging down?
