Hey, I'm Ryan Mallory, and this is my swing trading, the stock market podcast.

I'm here to teach you how to trade in a complex, ever-changing world of finance.

Learn what it means to trade profitably and consistently, managing risk, avoiding the pitfalls of trading,

and most importantly, to let those winners run wild.

You can succeed at the stock market, and I'm ready to show you how.

Hey, everybody. This is Ryan Mallory with Swing Trading the Stock Market, and I have a good episode for you guys today.

We're talking about shorting the market, getting a better understanding what it means

to short the market, plus whether or not it's best to use ETFs, like inverse

ETFs for shorting the market or just shorting an index, just plain outright.

And for this episode, this gentleman asks to be called Cowboy.

That's his nickname out in the Midwest where he is from.

He writes, Ryan, I have a few questions for you.

I'm new to trading.

Just started this summer taking an interest in the stock market.

Just as a side note, having just started this summer in the stock market,

the worst market that he has seen

so far is essentially the sell-offs in September and October. He goes on to say, I learned very

quickly that I have no idea what I'm doing and have made many costly mistakes. Since then,

I started doing a lot of research on the stock market and stumbled upon your podcast.

It has taught me a lot and I'm very appreciative of the information you have provided.

I have binge listened to all 211 episodes.

And for those keeping track, this one here is just 212.
