Hardcover. Condición: gut. Auflage: 1., Auflage (9. Mai 2001). Sold Short is the story of Manuel Asensio, a successful but controversial securities broker whose claim to fame is aggressive short selling--a widely disparaged (and sometimes wildly profitable) investment technique that realizes success only if stocks decline in value. Since the larger financial community is overwhelmingly comprised of long sellers who profit when prices rise, the shorts' contrarian position is always at odds and usually portrayed as an unscrupulous, backdoor attack on all things good and holy. Asensio sees it quite differently, of course, and with the help of Jack Barth, he reveals how a young boy who barely escaped Cuba before the revolution could come to be viewed as the devil incarnate by corporate honchos and Wall Street analysts whose professional paths he has crossed. After explaining how his firm uncovered some of their "grossly overvalued" companies, and what happened when he bet against them in the market, Asensio details the process so interested readers can theoretically profit from similar moves. Some of the material here is much too technical to interest casual investors, and Asensio's philosophy will still be scorned by those who don't abide it. Fellow shorts and those interested in all the machinations of the market, though, should find it an absorbing and informative read. --Howard Rothman Pressestimmen He's in the Index, Too Look for Wall Street and business-media types to scan index pages in the just-published Sold Short: Uncovering Deception in the Markets by famous short-seller Manuel P. Asensio. He delights in naming dozens of analysts, journalists and brokerages he says helped pump up dubious stocks that later tanked after he issued withering research reports. On the next-to-last page Asensio finally mentions the $75,000 fine he paid regulators last year to settle charges that, among other things, he and his Asensio & Co. overstated their own investment record. --Forbes May 28, 2001 Short-sellers have a natural appeal to journalists. Members of both occupations require deep scepticism about the motives of the rich and powerful, and both engender a black humour that can be off-putting to the innocent and uninitiated. Short-selling is the sale of borrowed or never-owned securities with the intention of profiting from a decline in their price. The profit is made when the shares price has declined, and the short-seller is able to repay the loan of the securities or makes good the promise to deliver with securities bought at a lower price. The profit is limited to the price of the security at the time the short sale is made; the loss can be as high as a security's price can rise. There are quiet, behind-the-scenes short-sellers - and then there is Manuel Asensio. His brokerage house, Asensio Company, specialises in executing short sales for clients, some of which are almost certainly investment funds in which he has an interest. He searches for frauds and simple overvaluations in the securities market, sells them short on behalf of his clients, and then trumpets their shortcomings to the world. Along with other journalists, I have made use of Asensio's material, though not without checking it first. When I did, it turned out to be quite reliable. Not everyone has the same feeling about Asensio. He is regularly sued by promoters and others connected with the objects of his research and mockery. He has, however, only paid one fine to the National Association of Securities Dealers, and believes he has been vindicated after he agreed to that settlement. Now he has written a book, Sold Short, to tell the world how he does it. To use the type of military metaphor popular on Wall Street, Asensio is the sort you would choose to lead an infantry charge against a fortified position. However, as another short-seller says: "I think I'd prefer to wait for the armoured division." Even though the book has a professional co-author, Jack Barth, the tone is pure Asensio: attack, attack, attack. Promoters are scum. Establishment companies are corrupted by greed. A typical sentence reads: "The bad guys were on the other side of the river, laughing, with their saddlebags full of loot." Asensio was wise to choose short-selling over a career in the diplomatic service. Sold Short is most useful for the detail it provides on the stock promoter's bag of tricks. You can get more stringent, academic detail on securities valuation from such classics as Graham and Dodd's Securities Analysis, but the standard works are not as revealing on the social, as well as the financial, patterns that fraud takes. Another short-seller said Asensio's analysis was good, but that the market values of the companies he goes after were too small to have the liquidity a large fund needed. Asensio's response was an unrelenting lecture on the market caps of his targets along with cutting inferences about the courage and work habits of the unnamed commentator. Sold Short is a helpful book, though not a literary masterpiece. The reader and the market participant should be fully aware that Asensio is talking up (or down) his position. But he's very straightforward about that. --Financial Times May 5, 2001 "Sold Short is a mixture of personal history and war stories about Asensio's battles with various companies. It's a walk through the sleazy side of Wall Street, providing ample evidence that analysts and mutual fund managers are quite capable of ignoring both fraud and incompetence if there's a chance to make a buck." (Fortune Magazine) "Sold Short is most useful for the detail it provides on the stock promoter's bag of tricks.the standard work are not as revealing on the social, as well as the financial, patterns that fraud takes.Sold Short is a helpful book." (Financial Times) "Asensio's no-nonsense writing style sets his book apart from the usual staid and pompous investment coverage.his book is fun to read; its skeptical approach to Wall Street hype should find a ready audience among the millions of i.…

Hardback. Condición: New. A revealing expose by one of today's most successful and controversial speculators Short-selling, or betting on a drop in the price of a stock, has been described by its many opponents as everything from shady to downright evil. And no one today personifies the practice better than short-seller extraordinaire Manuel Asensio. Though he has been branded in the press as a market saboteur, Asensio staunchly defends his practices, claiming that, above all, he is out to expose rampant fraud being perpetrated by unscrupulous stock promoters. Is Asensio a "Minion of Satan" as they say in the online chat rooms, or is he really a misunderstood guardian angel of free market capitalism? In this tell-all account, Asensio offers readers a lively narrative, peppered with unforgettable anecdotes such as the story of why he shorted Diana, General Nutrition, Solv-Ex, Turbodyne, and many other high-profile stocks. And he arms investors with proven techniques for reducing the inherent risks of short-selling while maximizing returns. Clearly, Asensio invites both praise and criticism, but his methodology works, and Sold Short is a compelling and fascinating read about this often mysterious side of the market--and one of the most controversial individuals behind it. Manuel Asensio (New York, NY) is founder and Chairman of Asensio and Co., Inc. He has over twenty years of corporate finance and research experience. He has been featured in Business Week, the Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Fortune, Forbes, Worth, the New York Times, New York magazine, and the New Republic, among other leading national and international publications.…
