I make this required watching for interns, with subtitles on, so they can ask me about terms. if you guys liked this show, then Black Edge would be a good read (about SAC, now Point72) - which Axe Capital was roughly based on
s02 ep8 na ata ako... grabe talaga!
i love this show kahit di ko maintindihan ang ginagawa ni axe.. (hedge fund)... as in di ko ma gets..
pinapractice ba dito sa pinas ang short selling?
not directly. you can short via swap, but borrow is done offshore. although limited anyway. and even if it's done eventually here, liquidity for our market is not great, so will be tough to short (easy to get squeezed). the simple way to look at it is if you go long (buy) a stock, your downside is 100% of your capital (the max you lose is all of the capital you used to buy). but if you go short a stock, your downside is infinite (the max you can potentially lose is infinite - as the stock price can keep going up, magnifying your losses along the way)
