The Brutal Truth About Short Selling (Why It Destroys More Traders Than It Makes Rich)

Описание: Most traders lose everything trying to short stocks — but it doesn’t have to be that way. Short selling can be profitable, but only if you follow the right rules. In this video, I reveal the proven framework from William O’Neil and Gil Morales’ How to Make Money Selling Stocks Short — and show you how I’ve applied it in real trades like Tesla, Peloton, and Netflix. You’ll learn why timing is everything, how to spot overhead supply, what distribution really signals, and the risk rules that protect you from short squeezes.

This isn’t about “calling tops.” It’s about surviving long enough to thrive. If you’ve ever been crushed by a short squeeze, this is the wake-up call you need.
