• “Just as we can invest and buy a stock for the long term, there are people out there who will do the opposite. Their form of investing is actually shorting a stock. That means they're selling the stock that they don't own. And their conclusion is that stock because that company is flawed fundamentally, that stock will go down.”
• “You can look it up and see what exactly a company's short percentage is. And it'll even tell you the number of days it would take for that stock to cover all of its shorts. In other words, If a company has a small float of stock, it could take many, many days for them to cover and close out the short positions because it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.”
• “But my point is, is that if you don't take a look at what is going on with a company's stock as far as the short position percentage out there and how many days to cover that it would take, that can be a very bad recipe for disaster if you're feeling like you're missing out and wanna get in on one of these.”
