Description
In Sell Short, author Michael Shulman demystifies the art of short-selling and reveals how investors can successfully use this approach to profit from busted stocks in both up and down markets. Sell Short provides readers with a comprehensive overview of how to capture significant profits with this method by implementing put options in their investment program. And while Shulman focuses on shorting company stocks, he also offers tools and techniques for shorting markets and indices, specific sub-segments of the market, real estate (through REITs), and commodity plays. Filled with real-world examples and detailed case studies, this reliable resource will show readers how money can be made when taking the short side of a trade.
Michael Shulman (Rockville, MD) is the Editor of ChangeWave Shorts, a weekly newsletter from InvestorPlace Media that educates and informs readers on short-selling stocks.
