What is a Short Squeeze and How Can You Profit From It?

You may have heard of the term "short squeeze" in the past - but didn't know what it meant. I'm here to tell you what it is and how you can capitalize and profit from a short squeeze.

What is a short squeeze?

There are two players in the market. There are the "longs" and the "shorts" which are equivalent to buyers and sellers.

Buyers are looking for the stock to head higher while Sellers are looking for the stock to head lower.

Sellers typical are borrowing shares from their brokers - then will look for the stock to head lower - they'll purchase it back at a lower price and pocket the difference. These are called "short-sellers."

Great explanation, but it would be nice if you showed some charts as an example and also added more info on above what percentage shorts could be a catalyst for a squeeze.

Hey Sasha, how are you? Thanks a lot your videos are very helpful. Please make a video on short selling, how to do? What are the strategies? How to identify the market for short selling etc.

[TheMarkbrown]

Is it easier to short a large cap/mega cap stock vs small/mid? Or is it all really just based on the float?

[huyd]

Is there a time to keep the SHORT SALE stock ? If we still have fund ( not be Margin Call), 1 year, ? THanks

[raqui]

This explanation is needed more now then ever 😅

[rulebook]

What's a high short interest percentage? or is it relative to each stock?

[essenceofgrowing]

Can you do a video on Predatory Short Selling and about bring back the Uptick Rule and its potential benefit to small cap stocks?

[lostpopcorns]

reddit crashing the market with no survivors lmao

[dinagilazitdinova]

Sasha, you’ve explained the terminology extremely well. Thank you very much!

[greenthumbstrummer]

I am a total rookie so please go easy on me for this question. In the video you say to find the stocks that have a lot of shorts. How do you see how many people are shorting the stock or how many shorts there are?

[Mark-qpmj]

force to come in for shorts meaning the shorts is buying the long position or its automatically being bought because the short position is closed?

[shaziakhan]

Pls explain clearly. Does it mean if you already holding a positiion and losing on a stock then you sell high and buy back at low price same day ??? By doing that you are increasing your shares. Is it the explanation of short sqeeee also?
