Book description
Praise for Sell Short
"I know of no other book designed for the needs of the
individual investor or trader looking to make money on a broken
company or market segment. He turned shorting stocks from something
many see as 'the dark side' of investing into a great way to make
money in any market."
-Toby Smith, panelist, Fox News
Channel's Bulls and Bears and founder and editor, ChangeWave Investing
"Sell Short is a great book for anyone who wants to be
able to trade all markets. Michael uses sound option strategies to
show how to play from the short side with limited risk and that's what
investing and making money is all about: controlling risk! Sell
Short isn't just a guide to trading-it is a complete method for
identifying opportunities and managing a portfolio. I'll bet we all
wish we'd read Sell Short last year, but trust me, these strategies
work in any market!"
-Jon "Doctor J"
Najarian, Cofounder, OptionMonster. com
"Michael's approach to shorting stocks proves that solid
research in uncertain, volatile markets does pay off. In a world of
congenital optimists and crowded with long-only advisory services,
Sell Short is a terrific primer for all investors seeking to make
money on both sides of the market."
-Bryan Perry,
editor, Tactical Trader and author, The 25% Cash Machine
"The events of the recent past have shown that this book is
overdue. Michael Shulman shows traders how to focus on individual
stocks and sectors that are underperforming and then profit from them.
An invaluable tool to complement any investor's trading
strategies."
-Gerald Scheinman, Alcyone Capital
Management, LLC
"Michael has been spot on about the financial and economic
crises for more than two years, way ahead of most in the financial
industry. He tells it like it is, avoids the fluff, and has an uncanny
ability to zero in on the critical aspects of the issues. He writes
easily, with clarity and humor-and a reader always knows where Michael
stands on an issue or how to execute a trade."
-William
Hyman, Investor
"Both institutional fund managers and retail investors will find
Sell Short profoundly informative for identifying multiple ways to
approach protecting downside risk in a portfolio as well as simply
making money on the short-side. As a long-oriented fund, the downdraft
of 2008 made it abundantly clear that everyone needs to have a deep
base of 'short' knowledge in order to generate strong returns.
Shulman's book should prove invaluable to novices and experts
alike."
-Jon Plexico, Stonepine Capital LP
