short selling explained microcap investing guide

Short selling. Is it a destructive force used to manipulate markets, or is it the market's essential immune system, responsible for identifying weak and fraudulent companies?

In this episode of The Micro-Cap Brief, we demystify one of the most controversial topics in finance. We break down exactly what it means to short a stock, using simple analogies to make it crystal clear. More importantly, we explore why the presence of short sellers is a critical signal that micro-cap investors cannot afford to ignore.

Learn the difference between legal short selling and illegal "naked" shorting, and discover the two playbooks companies use when they are targeted: the "Playbook of Hope" (distractions and lawsuits) versus the "Playbook of Execution" (flawless fundamentals). We also explain the truth about the explosive "short squeeze" and why trying to chase one is high-stakes gambling, not investing.
