This channel will be huge soon. I have been working in finance in a few universities and this channel is legit top tier information. The problem is a lot of people fancy the type of clowns you can see online talking about "5 stocks to buy in March" or the "dividend gurus" buying JNJ, Mcdonals, walmart at stupid pe ratios etc.. but they never actually show the net gain of their portfolio. They just show you how much money they add in to the portfolio..

The function of short sellers is to make sure retail investors don't become rich.🤡
In a world of charlatans and gurus, I have to say, the quality of your work is excellent!
In commodity futures you can sell as easily as you can buy. There is no need to "borrow" ... the open interest simply expands. I learned under those conditions. When I have been asked by people about short sellers being evil or unpatriotic, I reply, " No, they are actually being very patriotic, they believe the US dollar will appreciate relative to the stock." ....has left many people scratching their head.
This is so well made, thought i was watching a movie
You make really good market/trading documents. Please don’t stop!

Amazing channel, great content and production as others have said. Possibly consider the role of bankers who work to extend credit for leverage used by short sellers. Just as the stocks have to come from somewhere, the money is also coming from somewhere.
I've been a long time finaius subscriber. Rewatch the video many times and each time I rewatch them, I thank God for this channel. Ps. I am an accounting and finance student and this serves as my motivational channel too.
Best short Selling explaination! AMAZING! Thank you.
i'm long here with the target of 10x subs in one to two year time. love the mood and the quality.
Captivating story telling. This is talent.
I dunno if I can agree with your final statements. Short sellers like Melvin capital who are now under litigation and found to have been colluding in the background with the clearing houses to prevent retail from buying more of Gme,amc,nok AMD bb is beyond just betting the company fundamentally is worth less than their initial position. Using social media to form hit pieces on companies is one thing and maybe fall under the free market idea however finding ways round regulation in order to sell a company short more than it’s available float without even having to own the shares increases the selling pressure and pushes a stock down and is technically illegal. So yeah maybe not all short sellers are bad and they do add to the efficiency in the market however the retail community’s gripe with short sellers is specifically with the ones that have seemingly broken the law, exploited loop holes and directly prey on the uneducated emotional retail trader (ape) with their tactics. Then on top of that don’t even get me started on their PFOF agreements they have with these zero fee brokers. Was certainly nice to see a video on the light side of short selling and was obviously your goal to show the opposite of what everyone is saying which for right in with your overall message. Just hard to agree with knowing now what we’ve found out over the last few weeks especially in regard to the documents that have been posted from the litigation with apex. Enjoyed the video a lot. New subscriber. Thank you 😊

What happened was 1. They borrowed stocks; 2. They sold the stocks to someone else; 3: That someone else has lent the stocks to Person D; 4. Person D sells them Now, the same share has been shorted twice, and it's completely legal and fair.
Just wow, outstanding job

I can understand the argument for short sellers. However what we are seeing nowadays is 'short & distort' which is completely illegal. This is a concerted coordinated attack on a company through any means necessary, whether through lies or manipulation. If a trading firm takes out a short, they will do 'anything' necessary to bring the price down, it's in there self interest! A very recent example I have come across is THG (The Hut Group) listed on the London Stock Exchange. Share price was £7+, and this was dragged all the way down to under £1 in 6 months, business performing absolutely fine, all IPO targets being met. Lo and behold, what do we see in the media, a campaign against the company and a personal campaign against the CEO and Founder. First Numis, house broker 'self reported' themselves the the FCA (SEC equivalent) for printing lies, and then they redacted their statement and apologised! Then The Telegraph, a well known newspaper printed complete lies, surprise surprise, they eventually redacted their story, and again apologised! However damage is done, and there is no recompense! This is simply one such example how markets are not efficient, and these 'manipulators' can control the markets and ordinary investors lose out, through greed and corruption. I see the SEC are now trying to use Racketeering laws (first introduced to prosecute the Mafia) against the 'short & distort' gangs, and I hope they get prosecuted and punished, they are nothing but thieves and robbers in suits, and should be banned completely.

Can't argue with the example above, seems like pretty obvious market manipulation. But you have to understand there is an incredible amount of fraud within publicly traded companies. For a short seller to say "Hey, this EV company (for example) is an absolute fraud, I'm the only one who actually looked into this company and its total BS, I'm going to short it" should not be looked down upon. It is 100% the fault of uninformed investors and "thieves and robbers in suits" that are the folks running these companies. By no means supporting any manipulators, but a well-researched short sell and uncovering of well-hidden fraud is completely different.

Well, an investor who sells out of their position because of something they read online deserves to miss out. There's nothing wrong with shorting a stock and then explaining why you shorted it. That helps other people avoid investing in the company if you're right, or if you're wrong, people will ignore you. Also, The Hut Group has been losing money every year since 2020.
