**Public Service Announcement â Illegal Naked ShortâSelling Scheme**
| Section | Key Points |
|---------|------------|
| **Overview** | The episode exposes a widespread illegal naked shortâselling scheme uncovered by a recent lawsuit. It explains how the scheme operates, why it is dangerous, and how it has been perpetuated for years. |
| **Legal Context** | ⢠*Shortâselling* is legal. <br>⢠*Naked shortâselling* (selling shares you donât own or cannot locate) is illegal. <br>⢠Rules remain unchanged, but enforcement varies with administrations and political climate. |
| **How the Scheme Works** | 1. **Socialâmedia âbaitâ** â Traders post charts with red arrows showing a rising price. <br>2. **Addâon strategy** â As the price climbs, they continuously add short positions (often automated). <br>3. **Covering** â When the price falls, they close all shorts. <br>4. **Automation** â Uses boutique brokers that allow this type of trading; standard platforms (e.g., Schwab, Robinhood) cannot be used. |
| **Trading Style** | ⢠The scheme is a **counterâtrend** approach: short when a stock is rising, buy when it falls. <br>⢠It is not suitable for trendâtrading or momentum strategies because it relies on fixedâinterval additions rather than discretionary decisions. |
| **Illustrative Example** | ⢠**GameStop (GME)** â Mentioned as a historical shortâsqueeze example. <br>⢠An unnamed stock moved from **$5.50 to $8.00**; the speaker notes a discretionary decision to buy in the middle of a trend, yielding significant profit. |
| **Expert Insight** | Former SEC attorney **Nick Morgan** explains that the scheme has existed before the GameStop event and will likely reâemerge if not fully shut down. |
| **Risk & Warning** | ⢠Retail traders can be lured into automated bots promising high win rates. <br>
