This book shares his short-selling framework, built on themes common to falling stocks and the market's endemic strengths and cycles. Including key case studies and exclusive interviews with successful fund managers Bill Ackman (Pershing Square Capital Management) and Mark Roberts (Off Wall Street Consulting Group), this volume shows investors how to avoid traps and profit from well-researched short ideas. Investors may not always act on short ideas, but they can still avoid losses by using Kumar's framework to identify stocks that are overvalued. Everyone from professionals to amateur investors can adopt his fundamental research approach, which transforms short selling into a long-term strategy.

Relazione
"Short Selling keeps the reader's attention through the real firm examples, cases and interview with investment professionals. It's very sound and accurate, and ideal for the not only academics and professional, but also anyone who has an interest in the various strategies, risk, actual case studies, and mechanics of selling short. I know of no other text like it." Glen Larsen, Kelly School of Business
