The short sale is the most powerful weapon in the arsenal of manipulative tools wielded by the Exchange Specialists and insiders. I would like to recommend 2 books which are guaranteed to change the way you perceive the markets in a most profound way. They were written in the 70s by Richard Ney, who was forced to resign from a prestigous firm because of his public statements and warnigs about the manipulations. Senator Lee Metcalf was stonewalled in his effort to investigate Exchange and specialist practices and his efforts sre detailed in Ney's 2nd book. The titles are: "the Wall Street Gang" and "Making it in The Market". The grand scale of the manipulations and the rigging of the regulations to obscure the paper trail are very well documented and should be a must read for any investor. His charting techniqus are pretty esoteric as they attempt to track specialist block transactions with the aide of the Fitch reports, etc. All said, his calls have been extremely accurate throughout the years , and he is currently operating a managed account service from Belaire, CA.
