BOTD's Guide to SHORTING STOCKS!!


  Rule #4  .....  trade with a consistent thesis.

BAD BUSINESS  + BAD ECONOMY = BAD STOCK

1)  Airlines SUCK

*SHORT AMERICAN AIRLINES* 

tip #7: the KISS of DEATH
   ... the word "America"  
 example:  Bank of America 




2) Airplanes are made from STEEL! 

*SHORT US STEEL*

tip #14:  the KISS of DEATH 
.... the letters "U.S."
 Example:  US Bank 

 ~ feel free to add BOEING (BA) on the break of $40. 


3) Airplanes love FUEL!
   
OIL & CHINA?!! (twofer)

*SHORT PETRO CHINA*

... this one is too easy. 

Bonus "sleeper" Short:  KUB ~ Japan, Tractors, Equipment, Machinery, ... these are all bad words. 




4) What is the Internet? 

*SHORT PRICELINE*
 
This requires people to willingly buy the items above which we've already determined are BAD. 

.... The Wrath of the BEARS!
