Why Short Sellers

Attack Your Stock

Disclaimer

This is not legal or investment advice of any kind

Seek competent advice from qualified attorneys and investment bankers

Your situation may vary

The more you know about finance and business, the more you can profit

In any short sale, we have the short sellers fighting the company

Now by short sellers I mean the predatory, which is to say the aggressive, short sellers.

Aggressive short sellers take steps to make sure that their trade works. They do not simply sell and hold

while praying for a profit. They get off their butt and do something to

get results.

Something to get results can be making public some information on the company like Mr. Ackmann's

presentation on Herbalife, or Muddy Waters exposing of Chinese stocks.

How would you like to come to your office and find out

you had been targeted?

Maybe you already have

Shorts can lobby the authorities to get prosecutions going

Shorts can make a continuous public relations campaign to warn customers away from the company

Predatory Short Selling

In fact, these steps are only limited by the imagination of the short seller, his budget, and the law.

Only One Will Survive

This puts you and the short seller in

a life or death battle.

Only one of you will survive.

Accredited at Time of Sale

Fortunately for the short, only he knows this.

The company never gets it

The Company is Defenseless

Let me make you an analogy. Suppose this was a boxing

match. Pretend you are the short.

You know you are in a serious fight. The company does not.

As the predatory short, you can

prepare without fear of

interference.

As a serious fighter

and a short, you would prepare your

attack over time with great

enthusiasm.

The company does not prepare.

As the company does

not know it is in a fight, you can get

behind the company and hit it from

behind with a rabbit punch. The company will let you do that.

After your first

attack, the best the company will be

doing is to scramble to deny

your attacks. Confusion will

reign in their camp.

You, the short seller, will rain your heaviest

blows down on the company. The

company may not even defend itself.

When it realizes there is a fight,

the company will only try to defend

against your attacks, they never counter

attack.

You do not have to

disclose your name in reporting

your short position, so the

company may not even know who is

attacking them.

As a short, you have the advantage of

having considerable public information on the company. You can hire investigators to dig up even more.

I cannot recall any company

ever

investigating a short seller.

The media is totally on your side. They love bad news and

scandal.

Even if they try to be fair and balanced, they will always

present your side as a short seller and

the company's denials always look lame in the media.

If you do it right as a short, it becomes a

public lynching where the

company can do nothing right.

The public, the authorities, the

shareholders, the media all join the

lynch mob. Enron.

WorldCom. HealthSouth.

The company becomes

another wet spot in the highway of business.

The vultures move in and a

receiver is appointed who

sells your assets for a pittance.

If you like one-sided battles, where you

can kick your enemy in the groin all you want, without any risk of him kicking you back, predatory short selling is for

you.

Is this a great game or what?
