The Short Selling Book That’s Making Long Traders Better

Send us Fan Mail

In this episode, David Capablanca sits down with Josh, a primarily long-biased trader who has been using Short Selling Master as a practical trading manual since its release. They dig into why short-selling principles are just as valuable for long traders in today’s small-cap market, how the best longs are often short squeezes, and the critical filters every trader needs—especially around nano floats, Chinese stocks, and the real danger of T12 halts. David also breaks down his “architect’s view” of the charts, the 9-indicator checklist he runs before every short, and why avoiding certain manipulated names frees up both capital and mental bandwidth. A raw, tactical conversation packed with real examples and hard-earned rules for anyone serious about surviving and thriving in modern markets.
