Shorting stock 2발음듣기

Let's review what we went over in the last video, and one of you all actually commented that it would be a good idea to draw a timeline.발음듣기

So I'll draw a timeline. Short.발음듣기

So we're learning about short selling.발음듣기

And in the last example - let me do the timeline where things work out well for the short seller.발음듣기

So let me draw the stock price of IBM.발음듣기

Let me make this its - OK, here we go.발음듣기

So let's say that this is - that could be our timeline, it's by day.발음듣기

Let me draw the stock of IBM, it could look something like - that's my y-axis.발음듣기

Let's say the stock right now is at $100, it's trading someplace like that.발음듣기

And let's say it does that later, right?발음듣기

But we're sitting at this point right here - we're sitting at, let's call this day 0.발음듣기

So what does the short seller do?발음듣기

So let's say the short seller, right now - let me see if I can draw his balance sheet.발음듣기

So right now, the short seller, he has assets and liabilities.발음듣기

His assets - I won't worry about collateral requirements and all of that right now.발음듣기

But usually he already has to have some assets ahead of time for him to be able to borrow shares.발음듣기

But, actually - let me give him some collateral ahead of time.발음듣기

So let's say that he already has $60 in his account.발음듣기

He has $60 of assets on day 0.발음듣기

And then this is the day that he says, you know what?발음듣기

I've done my analysis and I think IBM - he doesn't see this part of the stock price, I mean, it would be great if he did.발음듣기

Then you could short with conviction.발음듣기

But all he sees is the past, right?발음듣기

If he did a stock chart he would just see - let me switch colors - he would just see this green part right here.발음듣기

He wouldn't see all the stuff that's in the future.발음듣기

But he has a lot of conviction that IBM is going to go down.발음듣기

So what he does is, he borrows a share of IBM on that day.발음듣기

So then on this day he borrows one share.발음듣기

So he has - let's call that IBM - one IBM.발음듣기

And he also owes one IBM. Right?발음듣기

Right after you borrow it, before you do anything into it, you have it as an asset, and you also owe it back.발음듣기

And if you wanted unwind the borrowing of it, you could just give it back.발음듣기

But what he does at this point is he sells this IBM.발음듣기

He sells that share and he gets $100 for it.발음듣기

Because that was just the market price.발음듣기

That's what people were willing to trade IBM shares for at that point in time.발음듣기

That's day 0.발음듣기

Then let's say IBM reports its earnings, and they're really bad.발음듣기

And that happened on, I don't know, probably happened on this day. IBM reports.발음듣기

And the stock tends to go down, down, down.발음듣기

People take a long time to realize how bad the report was.발음듣기

And here at this day, once the stock has reached $50, our short seller says OK, that's enough.발음듣기

I don't think the stock's going to drop a lot more.발음듣기

So on day - let's call this day 10.발음듣기

10 days have gone by.발음듣기

Day 10, he decides to cover.발음듣기

So going into day 10, this is his balance sheet - let me redraw it.발음듣기

So going in to day 10, what does he have?발음듣기

He has $160.발음듣기

The $60 he had before, just by actually working.발음듣기

And he owes - this is his asset, and his liabilities is he owes one share of IBM to the broker.발음듣기

And the broker really owes it to one of the shareholders of IBM who happened to be keeping the share with the broker.발음듣기

And he wants to cover.발음듣기

So what he does is, he takes $100 - no, no sorry, he doesn't take $100.발음듣기

Now shares of IBM only cost $50, right?발음듣기

So he takes $50 to buy a share, to buy one IBM.발음듣기

So instead of $160, he now has $110 and he has a share of IBM.발음듣기

And then what he does is, he takes this share of IBM and then gives it to the brokerage to pay off his liability.발음듣기

So then he's done.발음듣기

He's left with no liabilities, and just $110 of assets.발음듣기

So he made $50.발음듣기

So hopefully that clarifies it up a little bit, in that he sold here, and bought here.발음듣기

It's the reverse of a lot of stock, it's almost like you're acting in reverse time.발음듣기

But this was a very good scenario for the short seller.발음듣기

But he very easily could have made a blunder.발음듣기

Let's see what could have been a blunderous scenario.발음듣기

Let me draw a different stock chart for IBM.발음듣기

So let me draw the stock up to the day in question, and we said it was looking something like this, where it was trading right at around $100.발음듣기

And this is the day that our short seller decides to short it, and this happens. Right?발음듣기

He essentially borrows a share of IBM.발음듣기

So he has a one IBM share liability.발음듣기

He sells that share and he collects $100.발음듣기

And then let's say IBM reports on this day, so this is day 0.발음듣기

Now IBM reports, and it's actually great.발음듣기

They did way better than anyone could have expected.발음듣기

So then the IBM shares skyrocket, and they go to this level.발음듣기

And at this point this - and I'll talk more about short psychology and short squeezing, and all that - but maybe here he's like, oh no, this is just a temporary blip, let me keep holding my position.발음듣기

But then the stock keeps going up and up and he says oh, this is just temporary, it's going to go back down.발음듣기

But at some point, his tolerance for pain has been tapped out.발음듣기

And let's say IBM gets to $150.발음듣기

He says, I can't handle this anymore.발음듣기

And I think you're already noticing a very negative dynamic or a highly risky dynamic that occurs with shorts, is that you can lose an arbitrary amount of money.발음듣기

Because what's happening now?발음듣기

Let's say he wants to cover it right now.발음듣기

This is day 10 in this alternate universe.발음듣기

So now, what are his assets and his liabilities?발음듣기

Going in to day 10, his asset, we said, was $160.발음듣기

Because he had short sold, he had $160.발음듣기

But he owes one share of IBM.발음듣기

For him to unwind this, to pay back the share of IBM, what does he have to do?발음듣기

He has to go out into the market and buy a share of IBM at this higher price, at $150.발음듣기

So when he goes out, instead of $160 he has to use 100 - so he has $10 - and then he uses $150 of that to go buy - $150 of the $160 to buy a share of IBM.발음듣기

So then he gets a share of IBM.발음듣기

And then he can pay that share back to the broker and cancel out his position.발음듣기

And he's left with just $10.발음듣기

So in this scenario when the stock price rose by $50, he lost $50.발음듣기

So he sold low and then he bought high, right?발음듣기

And the really risky thing that maybe is apparent to you now about short selling is that his loss could have been infinite.발음듣기

What if IBM, instead of going to $150, what if went to $200?발음듣기

Then he would have lost $200 - if it went to $200, he would have lost $100.발음듣기

If it went to $300, he would have lost $200.발음듣기

So his loss isn't just the amount of the original short position.발음듣기

It isn't just the $100 or whatever the original price of IBM was.발음듣기

It can be an infinite amount, so it really can kill your balance sheet.발음듣기

Or really make you broke.발음듣기

While when you go in the long side of things, if I were to buy IBM here.발음듣기

Let's say I'm the guy that bought this share from the short seller.발음듣기

What's my worst case scenario?발음듣기

Well the worst thing I can have happen is that the share of IBM goes to 0.발음듣기

So my loss is really, I can just go to 0.발음듣기

I won't end up owing someone an infinite amount of money.발음듣기

So short selling, inherently, because of this infinite, you could say downside to the short seller, right?발음듣기

They can lose an infinite amount of money.발음듣기

They have to be really careful about how they make their positions and how they protect themselves from this eventuality.발음듣기

And we'll talk a little bit about things like margin requirements and things like that in the future, that essentially make sure - are the broker's way of making sure that the short seller can actually - is good to buy back the shares.발음듣기

Anyway, see you in the next video.발음듣기
