Book Synopsis
Short-selling has traditionally been dominated by hedge funds with deep pockets, sophisticated trading programs, and the ability to bounce back after suffering big losses. But today, there's a much better and safer way to play the short-side; one that enables individual investors to achieve incredible profits, while strictly limiting risk.
