Product Description
There are two sides to everything, except the stock market. In the stock market there is only one side--the right side. In certain market conditions, selling short can put you on the right side, but it takes real knowledge and market know-how as well as a lot of courage to assume a short position.

The mechanics of short selling are relatively simple, yet virtually no one, including most professionals, knows how to sell short correctly. In How to Make Money Selling Stocks Short, William J. O'Neil offers you the information needed to pursue an effective short selling strategy, and shows you--with detailed, annotated charts--how to make the moves that will ultimately take you in the right direction.

From learning how to set price limits to timing your short sales, the simple and timeless advice found within these pages will keep you focused on the task at hand and let you trade with the utmost confidence.

1 out of 5 starsNot what I thought it would be., 2010-01-09
Book did not go over the margin call requirements of selling short. I had to figure that one out on my own from several discount broker's websites. Also, this is primarily about technical trading (chart reading) which does not interest me.

5 out of 5 starsIf you do not understand short selling, get this book, 2009-08-14
The author gives readers solid information about how to sell stocks short. Most individual investors rarely understand shorting, but some professionals are proficient at it. During the 2008 bear market, some of them made a tremendous amount of money. Many people probably heard terms such as the "Uptick" rule that has been debated among politicians. I have read several books on shorting, but this one explains the "Uptick" rule the best.

The reader provides pretty much all the information during the first 43 pages. The rest of the book is dedicated to case studies of companies that have been great short selling successes in market history. I highly recommend this book to readers interested in short selling.

5 out of 5 starsHow to Make Money Selling Stocks Short, 2009-06-23
I recently finished reading Bill O'Neil's fourth edition How to Make Money in Stocks. While I received and read the third edition last summer as part of my IBD subscription, I was excited to get my hands on the 4th ed. for the 100 charts alone. In truth, I purchased How to Make Money Selling Stocks Short not because of any interest in shorting, but for the clear graphic examples of topping stocks. The charts depicting what a stock looks like whose on its last leg is priceless.

4 out of 5 starsGreat book., 2008-10-01
I've read several of these online reviews and am pretty stunned by them. I have found this book to be very useful. I have implemented its strategy and the past couple months have returned me decent profits. It explains all the necessary conditions needed for successful short-selling. If readers are looking for a step-by-step guide or some miracle formula, then perhaps stock market investing isn't the way to go. The only critique that I have about this book is to maybe include daily charts since these are necessary in timing short sales. If a 2nd book is published, then I'll be all over it.

5 out of 5 starsRich set of charts, 2008-09-09
The authors provide a rich set of charts that illustrate the life cycle of leading stocks from the past that ran up, topped, then rolled over. Such examples provide a key to understanding how leading stocks behave, and therefore, what to expect of future leaders. The charts clearly depict, in a bull market, how leaders advance in price as they break out of a series of constructive consolidations over time. In a bear market, these same leaders do the opposite, as they break down from a series of short, wild, erratic bases that can't seem to hold above their 50-day moving averages.
