      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..

      @@javiervazquez9591 I really like this old school journalist approach of story telling, the fact that its a bit monotone/serious makes it better.

    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.

    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.
