Solving the Hardest Problem in Short Selling
Wouldn't it be great if when the market crashed you could not just be protected but be so profitable that you have cash to sweep up great bargains when others are forced to sell?
Short selling is one way to get stock market insurance or "negative correlation" that is very difficult to generate with investments. As they say when there is a market disaster "all correlations go to 1".
It can be highly predictable that poorly run companies with weak competitive positions will decline in value over time. However, the biggest challenge short selling is that while a long investment worst case is that it drops to 0 and you lose 100%, a short can potentially increase 10X in a day (though rare)! We recently endured an extremely rare event like this and used our scientific approach to further reduce the potential for anything like this to happen again and make a rock solid portfolio.
