stx5mlol, I thought you were thinking of shorting borders/barnes and noble

My thought process exactly, haha.

haha with all the ebooks out there and filesharing of books going on that wouldnt be a bad idea going into the future.....but yea im looking for books that teach you how to short stocks.....i am completely a beginner so i would like the book to be more basic if possible

 

keep an eye on thedailyshortreport.com

right now its just a blog, but we have a plan to move ahead to lessons/instructional stuff on short selling since there really isnt much out there
