A thorough update to Gil's 2004 book on short selling when he was with O'Neil. More focused on the mechanics and setups of short sale candidates then his earlier book, especially setup review on the daily timeframe. Lot's of great ideas and some new ways of looking at price action "overlaps" of prior price support zones or moving average action zones. Highly recommended if you have an interest in doing the work to find these potential fast movers to the downside that would work well for end of day traders. At over 300 pages, you are given plenty of examples to emulate in your trading.
First things first , this book is not for beginners ... it asumes you have some knowledge about patterns , volume , wyckoff or oneil method , etc ... if you are new into trading you shouldn't be learning about short selling . If you know something about trading but nothing of short selling I recommend : the new sell and sell short from alexander Elder ... Actually I did not like A. Elder book but I realize that its a good intro to the subject . I took a start ONLY because there are too many typo mistakes , too many errors like dates or months when he is speaking about some charts , etc .. If editing were a bit better I would give this book 5 stars ... the content is fantastic , the charts are clear ... and it was about time that some one writes a good book about short selling! Thanks for the authors
Good book on short selling. Not as good as there earlier book 'Trading from the Cockpit'.The earlier chapters give a good explanation and summary of the basics.You can pull many of the key concepts can be pulled out of the numerous examples given in the later chapters, but a more explicit summary of the concepts would have improved the book.
Excellent book for the active trader. Unless you know everything there is to know about trading then I recommend this book to help increase your knowledge, find more trading opportunities and increase your profits
Great book! As a person who has lost more battles than won in the short selling arena, this is by far the best book I have read. A one star review of this book is just ridiculous. The most complete information on short selling available. Every page is important. He has been in the trenches. I have already made 30% shorting gold stocks, 25% on SSYS. acting on information in this book. I was a day late on GMCR. I am ready for the bear market.
I believe there are many different ways to short stocks but in this book, the authors explains the ways and methods he has found successful. This book assumes you have already some knowledge about technical analysis. Hardly no fundamental analysis is used. I liked the amount of charts that were provided in this book and the annotations on the charts. I think the annotations in these charts were better than in the "In the trading cockpit with the O'Neil disciples" book which was written by the same authors. While this book is mainly due to the work of one author despite two authors on the cover page, I don't think it hinders or interferes with the learning or reading process.The bad things are there are a few typos (for example writing wrong dates/months) and rather often you have to flip back and forth between pages as the author describes a chart on a different page. An index is in the book but a glossary would have been nice.If you like the O'Neil books, I would recommend this one.
I purchased the 2 previous books released by these authors and gained useful info on strategies, but unfortunately this book doesn't offer anything new, or original. Disappointed :/
