The one thing I struggled with was how you can "borrow" shares and sell them, and this video covers it VERY briefly, but more thoroughly than any other source I've found. Basically it's like taking out a loan but in the form of shares, as I understand it

@greatalbert

3 жыл бұрын

The institution that maintains your margin account borrows the shares for you. Since most stocks are held in a "street name", i.e. the name of the institution -- Schwab, or Fidelty or e-Trade, etc., they technically have ownership of most of the shares in their clients' accounts. They can make use of those shares to deliver to a buyer the stock you short. If they run out of shares of a particular stock they can still try to arrange to borrow the shares they need from another institution.

The dividend pay-forward being characterised initially as a cost would confuse people. The reason you pay out a dividend to the stock lender is because your short position value increases 1:1 with the required dividend payout. Thus it isn't a cost but merely a value exchange (they get the dividend from you but you get a higher value short position as the stock decreases)

The youtube algorithm brings us together once again. After GME has started to short squeeze, this video popped up in my recommended feed lol

The main thing this video sadly does not cover is shorting bonds, which is much, much, much more common than shorting stock due to their capped upside and is basically one of the most important things that banks do to lend money to companies while capping their risk (for example, shorting company A's bonds, to lend money to company B that has company A as their only customer, and pocketing the difference in yield). Similarly, the AAA-ranked mortgage-backed securities in the big short were bond-like securities that normally have very little volatility, have capped upside, are easy to borrow for shorting, any only had a few % yield over T bonds so that shorting them would only cost you a couple % of your investment each year at low risk, but had a huge payoff in the event of a default.

@gamesguy

Technically there are stocks with uncapped upside. One thing he didn't cover is reverse splits. Many companies constantly dilute themselves into oblivion(for example biotechs) to fund operations and reverse split to keep the share price above exchange minimums. The gain on this is uncapped. It also applies to leveraged inverse ETFs like FNGD where if you had shorted it in 2018 you'd have made like 1000x your money.

Well this was briefly explained and it's honestly as simple as it gets. At least theoritical that is. Basically longs for upwards movement, shorts for downwards movement. And with the market almost always going up it takes a damn long time to start seeing huge digits whereas shorts could do it in half the time or even less. Only thing is long time investing almost ensures wealth, short is gambling all or nothing.

Thanks been interested in this for a while now

Great explanation. I love the detailed perspectives and the examples given. :) My observations have been that short-sellers are always on the edge of things: any announcement/news might send them in a "panic" move. Often, in margin trading, the house is always the winner because it not only collects fees and interest payments, but it can also liquidate your position through collusion with other (bigger) investors at any time. All in all, short selling is a strategy that works only for a certain amount of time, mostly to get money/liquidity quickly. Going long and diversifying do offer more sustainable ways to grow your capital.

Now that was simple and to the point, thank you.

Awesome video! I think this would be a good one for everyone to watch as of the last 30 days!

very informative! i also love the way bill ackman once described it. its like borrowing coins from friend that you believe will lose value. you "borrow" your friends coins and sell them for $1000. then the coins prices go down to $500 so you buy the coins back for $500 netting you a profit of $500. then you give your friend back his coins and he has his same coins back you you made a profit. may have to give your friend some interest for "borrowing" his coins ;D

Something interesting to note is that you can short financial assets without the associated costs using derivatives such as CFDs. This also comes at a large amount of risk however, as CFDs utilise large amounts of leverage. The 'stop loss' feature comes with gap risk.

Cfd are considered gambling in the uk. I dont think its an intelligent position

This is very useful today. You forgot the part where wall street investors lose all their money but get bailed out by the government.

I just finished The Big Short. It's got me more intrigued than ever on how our economy/society works. I remember when 2008 happened. But I was too young to understand it as I was just entering my adulthood. Nearly 14 years later after learning about everything else that's fucked up in the world, that movie was the Cherry on top. Like Vinnett said. ...

Great vid. Never had it explained so well. Now I know what a short squeeze is. Thnx

I'm baffled by the amount of stuff my economics degree never taught me🤦🏾‍♂️

I didnt understand short selling and after this episode I finally subscribed!

very, very well explained. Thank you.

Very clear explanation, thank you for this video 👍

This has been one of the best explanations I heard. Still I don’t feel sorry for the losers. This the price of playing the game!

Thank you. The situation with GME short sellers losing $1.3 billion makes sense now

So did the short sellers lose because wallstreet bets bought tons of stock and caused a surge which fucked over the actual short sellers because they have to pay their margins back?

Brilliant explanation, thanks. Will be checking out your other stuff.

An eye opener indeed, Thanks for making a simple video

Now the movie trading places makes so much more sense.

Long story short: Hedgies have to buy my AMC shares at minimum of $1000 each. Thanks for whatever you did Friday afternoon! ;)

Did AMC squeeze?

This video really helped me understand what shorting is.
