Dr. Elder asserts that all traders should learn to short. He shows what to look for at market tops and how to jump onto a downtrend. He explains how to use important indicators of short selling activity, such as the short-interest ratio. A special chapter is dedicated to shorting non-equity instruments, such as futures, options, and forex.

Many beginners approach selling in a vague and indecisive manner. Sell and Sell Short offers traders the essential lessons, rules, and instructions all traders need. This book will help you make the right choices in the markets and put you on the road to trading success.
