I love how you explain so clearly. So many people talk so much around the topic, it gets confusing. I'm a fan!! Keep doing what you do girl.

[@Arvabelle]

Thank you Preeti!

[@creatingbalancefinance]

You have such a wonderful way of explaining things in a really simple way. Thank you for sharing!! Have a wonderful weekend :)

[@Arvabelle]

Thank you! You too!

[@DanDann]

This is the first time.... its May now? This is the first time Ive actually UNDERSTOOD what happened with gamestop. You are amazing. Please please make more videos.

[@louiem514]

well explained , thank you!

[@Arvabelle]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@paulah1639]

I watched several videos about short selling and I got the idea of what it is and its purpose but not how it is actually done and where the money to buy the stock is coming from. After watching this video I understood everything. Thank you for a good and to the point explanation.

[@MOGO8907]

Wow, I finally get it now. Cnbc and all the so called "experts" being interviewed in the media should've just called you to explain it all...So really though, what's a stock?

[@ozymandias4988]

They are the one's that are shorting companies that is why they spoof fud and degrade companies relentlessly

[@EricDaMAJ]

Thank you for the upteenth explanation on how to short stock. I have to relearn how it works every time because the down side (which you describe so well!) is so massive I automatically brain dump the info so I don’t do it. I’m much happier just buying and holding.

[@keysersoze8592]

This is the clearest explanation that I've seen about shorting stocks. Much appreciated!

[@jandreamer7130]

How did you learn so much at such a young age, my dear lady. I am a theoretical physicist and hardly know much about the topic you have covered. It has been in the news for the past three days. Now I know what was all the news about! Thank you.

[@mccandless1]

Oh and btw, this was the best explanation on the subject on U-Tube IMO

[@OranRamirezJoshuaCuellar]

THANK YOU! You finally gave me the missing link to understanding this! I was missing that when you short it, you immediately sell it and use it as leverage.

[@zafarkhalili5778]

perfect and easily explained. I watched 10 videos on KZbin but was confused. thnx

[@tonystarkai]

Thank you Arvabelle for explaining this to me like I'm 5. This is the only video I've found that didn't use technical terms.

[@TucsonArizona]

Thanks for the explanation. I am not a “short seller” but I like learning more about it and hearing other people’s thoughts and opinions about the subject. Keep your insight coming! Love your channel! I’m following!

[@Arvabelle]

It's definitely good to know how other aspects of investing work!

[@paulslevin610]

So, to short a stock is a fools errand. You can win a little a hundred times, but, if you short a stock that goes to the moon your broke ass.

[@phillipwashington6925]

Beautiful Explaination! ☑️ Excellent Presentation!☑️

[@chrisdawson9312]

Of all the videos on shorting I’ve seen, your explanation was the best

[@Wael4You]

I love how you’re clear explain I learn a lot from you. thank you so much I wish from you to do another video talking about fidelity platform strategy

[@qani613]

After watching the video about limit and stop limit I had to subscribe. Easy to understand straight to the point keep up the great work.

[@Arvabelle]

Thank you!!

[@enockkondowe0138]

Best explanation!

[@apealeal3973]

Youre an amazing teacher

[@nodaysoffmusicgroupllc.7489]

Retail Markets needed this. Thank you girl!

[@Arvabelle]

Haha you're welcome!

[@guybeauduy3144]

I've seen other videos with millions of views and they don't explain as clearly as u. Great video

[@QuesttoFIRE]

This was a very clear and concise explanation!🙌🏻🔥🔥

[@Arvabelle]

Rebecca!! It's been a while! Thank you! 😊

[@JazzBeatsCafe]

I've watched video after video on short selling, and this is the absolute best explanation of short selling and how it works. You also just gained a subscriberrr...Thank you!! 🌠

[@niknikm4169]

I absolutely LOVE how simple you explain things in your videos! Keep up the great work!! I have subscribed🤗

[@Arvabelle]

I appreciate it, thank you!

[@surreabstractcreatives]

Same here! Thank you Arvabelle! New subscriber here as well.

[@Lazlowinthehouse]

My girl back at it with a new video!!!! This Friday just got better!!!!!

[@Arvabelle]

Haha thanks!

[@zoopy858]

Amazing video, perfectly explained and I took multiple pages of notes and spent multiple hours writing all of this down. Again, great video and thank you!

[@harrythompson6854]

Thank you for making the subject so much easier to understand in plain English words.

[@n_justwatching]

This is the best explanatory video on short selling I've ever seen! You've made it so simple to understand. Thank you!

[@davidyesilcimen3432]

You did a really good job being so involved in this video but you can explain everything

[@tmattler4606]

Such brilliance from such a young person. Wish I had such a fund of knowledge when I was that age. And so articulate! Best explanations I've found anywhere on the internet; so thorough and easy to understand. Really impressive! After 40 years of investing I think I still don't have as clear an understanding as this young lady does of trading. Guess I'm just not as intelligent as I like to think I am.

[@buggerall]

Perfect! That part about what the broker does was what really helped me to get my head around this. I couldn't figure out if the one that shorts actually owns the stock after he bought it. Best explanation about shorts I could find.

[@qrs3658]

i really do like how this young lady does her presentation. make it so easy for me to understand trading

[@crh_55]

Clear and concise as usual, thank you Arvabelle.

[@yourstruly5DA]

In one word - Brilliant!!! The most simplified and lucid explanation of an abstruse concept. Keep'em coming!!!

[@MandhanAcademy]

you are amazing!!

[@TheboredConsultant]

Loved the video!! After 12 videos I finally understood what short selling is.

[@boriskuljis1945]

Probably among best explanations on KZbin. Great videos...

[@eversunnyguy]

This came at the the right time ! Eye opener. I hope I never do short selling in my life.

[@Arvabelle]

It's risky for sure!

[@Akpulosu]

You are super amazing in simplifying and explaining seemingly complicated hard to understand ‘things’. Thank you.

[@lordnk3698]

everything is clear now thanks

[@inkfromthebrain]

Thank you! You have explained it best. Once you said that the 1000 gets credited to his account I fully understood.

[@ahceneM]

Well done 👍 keep it up!

[@azzedyala1527]

Thank you now I understand what is a short squeeze.😁

[@annojhsinnarasa]

Great explanation. How long can the short seller wait before paying it back? can they wait as long as they want until the price goes down or is there an expiration date?

[@Onecooltop75]

Position has to be paid by margin call

[@rabbitfishtv]

Thank you, very clearly explained. We watched this after seeing the “Dirty Money” episode on Valeant and the people who shorted it.

[@wolfie8012]

Great quality content! You explain things so well. Thank you 🙏

[@seanflorida5957]

I really love the way you explain. Good work girl!

[@achag9273]

Great, you are a wonderful teacher..

[@harveydentthecat8733]

these are the types of videos i need. simple and informative...thanks!

[@JenzBenz207]

You're awesome! I wish I had known about your channel sooner, I would be in a better position with AMC. Thank you for making such quality video explanations. Can you share with us, how often these shorts need to be covered? Is it EVERY week, Every Friday etc? I know they only have certain # of days to make good on them but they are cheating with these short ladders. Did the squeeze happen already? I see charts and graphs that it's not over yet - but hedgies are keeping the price low with their black magic - the free market is being stunted, big time. Any additional info is appreciated. I'll be over here holdin' the bag awaiting your reply. Thanks again. Peace!

[@darinwade1973]

Remember arvabelle you didn't cover this for self directed traders you must have a margin account to short sell not a cash account your a excellent tutorialist and watching you all the time..

[@abishussain2458]

I was having a problem understanding it but you just explained it wonderfully 👍👍

[@manishkandpal5686]

Love you AB for explaining it in simple terms, can you maybe make a video on best crypto wallet and exchange application.

[@michellebelle1673]

You are amazing with your delivery. Thanks!

[@Arvabelle]

Glad it helped!

[@the_maverick_]

Fantastic way of explaining stock trading concepts as always. Pretty much an ABCD channel to the investing world!!

[@hotchinahk]

Well said and well explain about short selling, I lost a fair bit of money to learn my lesson, I wish you were there then, thank you.

[@adam872]

That was an excellent breakdown of shorting. Thank you.

[@dea7hr0w]

Subscribed because of your great thorough explanation. Well earned

[@chuckfoster1945]

I always enjoy your knowledgeable presentations!

[@canonlover6617]

Excellent. Thanks for explaining in simplest possible way.

[@inmyopinion_talk]

Great video . Really insightful .

[@leodass]

Thank You

[@claude00]

Excellent explanation. Right to the point and very clear. 👍👍

[@johnvonsauers8867]

you are doing a good job and watching you a learned a few things. thankyou

[@RachaelLyn]

This was a great explanation that seemed to confuse the whole world not too long ago.

[@leobmendes]

Beautifully explained, thank you!

[@alextychan]

just exactly the type of tutorial i need to watch - succinct and precise :)

[@terrykrall]

I have twice been long on two stocks during short squeezes this year, 2021. In both instances I had 300-500% gains and certain that AFTER THE SQUEEZE, I will be able to buy back at a much lower price than I sold for. When I sold, during the wild price fluctuations I LADDERED my shares with LIMIT ORDERS in small lots RATHER than selling all at once and certain I gained thousands more than trying to determine what the high might be. I try to buy in the same fashion, just be patient.

[@michaelobrien2190]

This is the one topic that made me feel pretty stupid for not understanding it. I love watching videos on things like quantum mechanics, but I just couldn't wrap my brain around this concept until your video. Thank you. During the housing bubble, I mused that I would love to sell our house to a bank at the market price with a contractual obligation that we had to re-buy our house at the market rate 18 months later. As it turned out, the bubble burst four months later. So in effect, I wanted to short my house. We would have made more than what we initially paid for it. The one question I have is why would someone lend a stock? Would it be that it's value is going down and the borrower would be on the hook for the losses incurred during the loan period (providing a respite to the lender)? Can the lender ask for it back at any time? Again, thank you!!!

[@Arvabelle]

Actually that's a very good question! That's another danger - the lender can ask for it back at any time, and a broker can force a short position to be closed. The lender would be benefiting off of the margin interest & borrowing fees, which is why they might lend it in the first place.

[@michaelobrien2190]

@@Arvabelle Thanks!

[@mirrab3750]

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you for your time :)

[@got2go4word]

Excellent explanation!

[@officesuperhero9611]

You always do a nice job explaining things. Bravo!!

[@Arvabelle]

Thanks Richard!

[@robstreicher5561]

[@richarddemchuk5067]

Very informative. Thank you for the education. Keep up the great work.

[@ldstiesto]

What a great video! Very well explained and super easy to understand. Thank a lot... keep up the great work! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@LennyGildersleeve]

New subscriber. Very informative and explained well. Outstanding work!

[@rphrules1]

Excellent explanation! Thank you.

[@Onecooltop75]

There was a movie made in the 80s called Trading Places. Watch the orange juice scene. That is a great example of short selling

[@roostertheCat]

I'll be interested to find out the result of the SEC investigation into the trading brokerages and clearing houses (specifically, their vested interests). Will there be a determination that hedge funds and other entities were performing "naked" or synthetic shorts on stocks such as GME, which was exposed by the WSB revolution. Also, will this continue to have a cascade effect across the market; impacting investor sentiment about the integrity of our market.

[@storyisking5598]

Thanks for the explanation! I hope the YT algorithm pushes your video so you can get the credit you deserve!

[@Arvabelle]

Much appreciated!

[@thefinanciallyfitguy7516]

Ive seen a few of your videos now and definitely a fan. You break these topics down very clearly. Did you study Finance in college? How much of this is personal learning?What other businesses do you run that has given you insight into these discussions?

[@Arvabelle]

Entirely personal learning!

[@russelldriver6394]

i finally get it - this was really helpful!

[@DragonDragon-qr6mq]

Beautiful explanation. Thanks

[@baritony8763]

Succinct and in layman's terms. Thanks, I needed that.

[@JenMarco]

I like put options to short stocks because your losses are capped and the stock only has to go down a small percentage to make a big percentage. Options are where it’s at for me anyway.

[@bobo-wf1jv]

Great discussion .. sounds like the "perfect storm" trigger could someday collapse the entire short and long system due to it's inherent design.

[@ahsansheikh4386]

Good video. Short selling explained in a simple way!

[@dalizhernandez-finanzas]

LOVE this explanation! Thank you!

[@Arvabelle]

Glad it was helpful!

[@crook6218]

Thanks for the great explanation.

[@jefferymccauley9548]

Great explanation! Thank you.

[@jgbains]

do you trade options? what are your opinions for OT compared to Day trading

[@leab4052]

So helpful! Thankyou lady!

[@Tisbury4]

Very good explanation. Keep up good work.

[@droidcrasher]

Can you put a STOP LOSS ORDER on a Short Sell Order? If so... How do you go about it? As opposed to a STOP LOSS that STOPS and SELL... Does it STOP LOSS at the price you set and... BUY to COVER ???

[@Fungi757]

Finally i understand it! 😅 Thanks

[@lucasvitullo8258]

you did so good at explaining that! thank you! im subscribing to you now :D

[@diax14]

Thank you so much for this video. Can you make one video like this but explaining call options?
