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.

 Well worth the money, 2008-07-07
How you rate a book on stocks depends upon what your level of experience and trading methods. I have been investing in stocks for several years, but am not a professional trader. I had never done a short sell. This book gave me clear insights into finding valuable short sales.
It could have been written a bit more clearly. O'Neil makes assumptions about the reader's understanding of some terminology, but it isn't a fatal mistake.
After some explanation of what to look for and why most of the book contains marked up charts of real life examples. I'm finding them more helpful than a lot text that says very little that is practical as in some other books.

 Shorting is a Art form as well as technical, 2008-06-01
I learned of Gill Morales though Gary Kaultbaum's radio show and then Subscribed to the Gilmo Report as a result, A lot of this book is his writing and is well done. I have been trading now for over 20 years and you never stop learning. Shorting stocks is a stressfull endevor for me and the more I can learn proper entry the better. The book goes though how to spot tops in stocks and speaks of general market direction as well. There are lots of charts that should help you to get the basic theme of how to spot these stocks. You should have a good foundation in Technical Analysis and back that up with company fundementals. You can make much more money going short if you know how to do it correctly. Traders want out of the Pool a lot faster than they want to get in. This can result in 15 to 20 percent gains in several days.

A must have for chart "readers", 2008-02-16
I noticed one reviewer criticized the weekly charts. Chart patterns are not magic, just visual representations of price action. If it rains 4 days straight, what is the probability of it raining another 4 days? What has happened in the past, if it rained 4 days? Take that same mindset and apply it to hours. What does 3-5 hours of trading tell anyone? Charts are no guarantee and chart analysis is an art, but it's all about probability, which requires time and sufficient data. But, cutting that time frame too short, over a few hours, is more tape and less chart. Tape "reading" is as much of an art as the charts. There will never be a surefire system, because everyone starts using a winning tactic and it won't work anymore. Any significant change in investment practices affects the price action, which is why the stupidity of everyone reaping 10% by investing Social Security funds in common stocks.
This is a great book, and just plain interesting for anyone who sees this subject as a hobby or major point of interest..not some silly get rich quick scheme. Saturday morning cable TV "paid programming" has enough get rich quick silliness.

Basic introduction to short selling, 2008-01-23
This is a primer to the perils of selling short. It has the caveat of how the market can punish you for being short and alerts you to the fact that you are liable for the dividend payments while you are short. A must-read for all serious traders.
