Thanks for watching everyone! Give this video a LIKE if you found it helpful. I appreciate it! Also if you did not see my last video explaining in detail the concept of short selling, then watch it here, kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4e8fY2qmM-KhtE

[@KyotoMelody]

The first time in my life, I have understood the term 'short sell'!!!! I couldn't figure out how people can sell shares that they don't own! Thanks, Jake! Btw, love that "Periodic Table of Elements" in the background! My all time favorite 'table'!

[@EvilGenius007]

[@jamesrichardson6477]

You made this simple, I would like if you could show issues where one has to get out of a short position because the stock is going up. Thanks \

[@vivianlee6635]

Amazing tutorial! I have been looking for the channel for short sail for 2 weeks. Finally, I found out! Thank you very much Jake!

[@JakeBroe]

Thanks Vivian! I appreciate the comment. Be sure to subscribe if you have not already. I will have lots more Schwab investing videos starting in 2021!

this was the best example of short trading i have seen.

[@leonardohsu8687]

Jake like your channel. Keep up the good work.

[@JakeBroe]

[@206Seattle]

Is there a time limit of when you have to re-buy your short sells?

[@charlypetra191]

So, is this the Think or Swim Interface Swab Owns? or ????

[@reocam8918]

very clear!

[@LukaAs-z6e]

Good boy

[@therawyogi]

Jake, do is there a call date on short selling?

[@JakeBroe]

No, there is no expiration date, but your broker does have the right to request you cover your short sale at anytime. Though they almost never do this.

[@Markharlan95]

You didn't talk about dates and strike prices?

[@JakeBroe]

Dates and strike prices are related the trading options. Short selling a single stock or etf is not related to trading options.

[@joelgarcia5894]

So just to be clear.. can I do a short sell and then buy back within a week or it has to be done the same day?

[@JakeBroe]

Hey Joel! You can buy is back whenever you want, same day or next week/month/year... whenever!

[@woolfy02]

So, let me see if I got this right. You do a 'short' which gives you the stock for free , and then you sell it cause you anticipated the stock to drop lower than the market buy price of the purchase? (Sounds like you could make a decent amount of money if done right.) You need to have the settled funds to cover it regardless though, correct? If not, what happens happens if you short sell without an available balance? Still confusing but slowly learning it...I think. lol. Thanks for the video though. One more thing. Let's say you sell $50K of stock and tax time comes next year. How do you figure out the tax amount you will pay?

[@JakeBroe]

Yes, you broker will set aside how much buying power you need to buy back your position should the stock go up in value (and your short position is losing value). If you short-sold $50K, you haven't made any profit yet. You only pay taxes on profit and you only make a profit if you buy back the stock and return it to your broker for a net profit.

[@100perdido]

Using Schwab, once you have completed the short sale, how do you set a price where you want to exit the trade automoatically? For example, I shorted a stock at $25 but don't want to lose more than $5 so I want to cover it if it hits $30. Or the reverse, I short sell it at $25 and want to cover it if it hits $20 and take the profit. Thanks.

[@fog8969]

Great question. I have the same question. I'm guessing that you simply go back in and place a buy limit order at whatever price you choose.

[@fog8969]

See post not far below made by @tonybermeo5214.

[@mickeygregg359]

Please be so kind as to add comments about the use of a stop (buy-back) order for a lunge upward. What say? Lose 5% and get out?

[@JakeBroe]

Hey Mickey! It all depends on why you got in. If you think the company is over valued and a drop should come, then you would actually want to short even more to lower (raise) your cost basis. I don't like the idea of giving up money just because the price moved 5%. If that was enough to cause you to give up your position, then the stock probably shouldn't have been shorted in the first place. Good luck!

How very odd... I want to short GM at $43 on 5/28/24, using Charles Schwab and this is the first video I found... eerie.

[@freedom7995]

EVERY one of stocks I tried to short sell on Schwab fails on Review Order screen with this message: "Your request to enter a short sale for this security cannot be processed as there are not sufficient shares available." Even for a value of about 150 dollars worth. How can I get around this unavailability?

[@brunogsrio]

Cool Jake! I'm trying to learn about shorting! i'll sneak around your channel, with i get more info about the risks. the graphic analyses i am developing, cheers.

[@money_5802]

Jake TD is merging with Charles Schwab. TD is notorious for not having shorts for ETB or HTB. How is shorting with Charles Schwab? Do they have a decent amount of HTB shorts? Thanks!

[@BlakeFealy]

absolutely loving these videos. Keep them coming. It helps, since I use Schwab and their wording on everything is very legacy and daunting.. whereas, most other youtubers use Robinhood, which is a bit more user-friendly. Thanks. I know you got that whole series coming, hope you do one that also explains "buy to open" vs "buy to close" and "sell to open" vs "sell to close"

[@JakeBroe]

Hey Blake! I am currently working on a video series on trading options. I'll do live examples in my Schwab account as well. I hope more people find these useful. Thanks for the support!

[@dsmith56]

Thank you thank you thank you. I learn so much better by seeing an example versus listening to my friends who are already sophisticated on this stuff. Tbh, I thought this was SO much harder than what you just demonstrated. I must have been confusing it with even more sophisticated trading techniques lol. Will watch more just to make sure I understand why a short sell shouldn't be held for too long.

[@MegaAngel307]

Thanks for the Kicker

[@Jflores94729]

So when do you need to return the stock? I saw one comment you said it could be whenever. What if the stock prices goes infinitely high and I never return it?

[@JakeBroe]

You broker keeps track of how in the negative you are. Your losses on a position you short can be infinite. But your broker keeps track of this and as soon as you can't cover your short position with only 30% margin remaining in your account, you get a margin call and they force you to buy it back, liquidating whatever is in your account to force you if need be. Check out my video on Margin: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6PVnXqkZtyIfac

If I were to short sell, it would only be while day trading and if I lost more that 5% then I would just eat it and buy back the stock. I couldn't imagine trying to short something and holding it weeks or months. Not for me!

[@omsu8410]

Excellent video. Do I need to be approved from Charles Schwab to perform short sells? I did open my account, funded ($1500), but my short sale (about $500) says : I do not have enough to cover my position. what am I doing wrong?

[@ClassicMist360]

i know this is 2 years late, but this is more so for anyone else reading this comment and wondering the same thing. Its probably because they require you to have a certain amount of money/assets as collateral

[@ericandrekopoulos]

Great!

[@drakovr]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU, I accidentally did an short sale and I did not how to ride from it off. and I found your video !!!! save my life Jake thank you again!

[@canpeltek5094]

As I invest more, I watch more of your videos, now I know the meaning of shorting a stock. What about a situation like this, you short a stock XYZ worth $10, and hope it to go down but also want to put a safety net at $10.50, so can you cash secure put for $10.50, would that work?

[@JakeBroe]

Not sure I follow that scenario. A cash secured put is an agreement to buy 100 shares. If you shorted 100 shares exactly, then yes, this would cover you to $10.50 a share. But you are selling a cash secured put that is in the money. You definitely will get exercised on and have to buy 100 shares at $10.50 if the price went down. Shorting wouldn't then benefit you at all.

[@canpeltek5094]

@@JakeBroe Thank you, the scenario that I was trying to put together is, to put a high cap on the stocks that I am shorting, so in case it goes to 20, I would buy it at 10.50 and have myself covered, but if it goes down below 10, I will keep the profit. Would have been nice :)))

[@MrLegantWong]

thanks Bro !

[@JPisTheWord]

How do I start investing? I have no idea where to start

[@homerthompson4511]

Open up a brokerage account, for which all you need is a social security number. I used Schwab, because they list lots of statistics. If you're like me and you don't know much about the companies you want to buy, just remember to never "buy high, sell low", and always "buy low, sell high". I've gotten a return of about 17% so far, and I started at the beginning of last May.

[@JakeBroe]

Hey Jean-Paul! I recommend watching as many KZbin videos as you can! If you don't have a brokerage account, I recommend starting with Robinhood and putting a $100 on it to play around with buying and selling. It's a great resource for new investors! Use someone's referral link and you'll get a free stock to start with. join.robinhood.com/jacobb4801

[@ultraviolethaze6212]

Jake. Does Charles Schwab let you sell and rebuy the same day/minute/hour if you want to better reposition yourself with a stock in the same trading day or is there a delay? e.g. Tesla goes up past original buy share price but I believe it's going to go back down again after I cash out and I want to rebuy. Thanks

[@gp7944]

Is that 69 cents your total profit or would your total profit be $6.90 because you short sold 10 shares?

[@nickstrim]
