Both institutional fund managers and retail investors will find Sell Short profoundly informative for identifying multiple ways to approach protecting downside risk in a portfolio, as well as simply making money on the short-side. As a long-oriented fund, the downdraft of 2008 made it abundantly clear that everyone needs to have a deep base of ‘short’ knowledge in order to generate strong returns. Shulman’s book should prove invaluable to novices and experts alike.” Jon Plexico, |
