Very Academic
17 Jan 2005
Format:Hardcover
I found very little practical advice on short selling strategies. There was considerable theoretical discussion of the risks and rewards of short selling. I would recommend this book only for those who were looking to improve their understanding of financial theory.

Better for people that are not day traders
15 Jun 2007
Format:Hardcover
This is a great book for those that are trying to understand the theoretical underpinings of short selling. It is probably most appropriate for money managers who are trying to understand the difference between long and short strategies, quants (as a basic book with which to frame short selling separate from long startegies), and generalists. It is not a book for day traders who would do better focusing on charting.

Must read for financial academics
18 Aug 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an insightful book that makes a great case for the importance and need for short selling. It chornicles the bias toward optimism in the marketplace and this is especially relevant after we have had two bubbles burst in the last 10 years associated with excessive optimism. This is a nice compliment to the work that has been done in regard to capital market efficiency, etc. I recommend this to intermediate to advanced financial-minded people who want a different perspective on pricing and investor motivation.
