This member is the original thread starter. NASDAQ small and micro caps short selling strategie

I am frequent listener to traderintviews.com, this week's interview feature a strategie that differed from most others. The guy is short selling NASDAQ stocks, because many increases in share prices of small and micro caps are just hype.

Maybe he's just trying to promote his book, you decide.

Sounds reasonable, nasdaq stocks tend to have more avg volatility. Smaller market caps, lower prices, they would certainly respond to hype with larger moves. Also the smaller less sophisticated players will be in these stocks to a greater degree adding to that. Why not make use of those facts?

Unhappy Re: NASDAQ small and micro caps short selling strategie

I would suggest looking into this guy's managed fund track record before listening to what he has to say. It is a sad chapter. Take what this guy has to say with a grain of salt. His audited return for the past 5 years is something like 1.5%. He made the majority of his money in the tech boom, and it has been downhill ever since. Form your own opinions, as he may have something viable to say...but do your due diligence to make an educated decision.....
