Hello Value Investors,

Weeks ago most people had a vague notion of "short selling" and "high finance" from movies like The Big Short, Wolf of Wall Street, and Margin Call, but few regular people knew HOW to short or WHY one would do it. How can low-capital options bets of $2k turn into millions and how can 140% of a stock be shorted? Welcome to the esoteric world of finance!

In January 2020, Gamestop hit a high near $500, up 2700% within just a single month. AMC made similar moves, up 1000% within a month. Other notables were Blackberry, Nokia, and Dogecoin.

In this webinar we introduce the basics of short selling, short squeezes, and call & put options. The discussion will be suitable to even complete newbies to investing. We'll discuss how retail investors may be changing the game, and how government agencies, politicians, and others are reacting.
