More Useless Trash from the Financial Media (Part 1)

As I sat at home on this early Saturday morning doing some research, I ran across an article I wanted to bring to your attention. 

First, I want you to notice the title. 

Next, I want you to notice the publication.

And finally, I want you to ask yourself if the title/claim lives up to its expectations. 

The title of this piece is "How to Sell a Stock Short," published in Smart Money. 

Once again, we have another journalist who most likely has never shorted a stock in her life, yet acting as some experienced pro. 

The most disturbing thing about this article other than the fact that she didn't show the reader how to short stocks, is the fact that Smart Money is engaging in the facilitation of the stock market casino mentality by even discussing the most risky technique for investors.
