The Mechanics of Short Selling -- $tGlossary -- $tNotes -- $tIndex 330 $aWhen an investor believes a stock is overvalued and will soon drop in price, he might decide to "short" it. First, he borrows an amount of the stock, and then sells it. He waits for the stock to tank before buying back the same amount of shares at a deflated price. After returning the shares to his lender, he pockets the difference-unless any one of several hard-to-predict variables interferes, and the stock fails to drop. Since these variables are so hard to predict, short selling is difficult for even seasoned investors. It takes great talent and experience to isolate the best short ideas for falling stocks-skills Amit Kumar developed and honed over decades of market analysis and trading. This book shares his short-selling framework, built on themes common to falling stocks and the market's endemic strengths and cycles. Featuring key case studies and exclusive interviews with successful fund managers Bill Ackman (Pershing Square Capital Management) and Mark Roberts (Off Wall Street Consulting Group), Kumar shows investors how to avoid traps and profit from well-researched short ideas. Investors may not always act on short ideas, but they can avoid losses by using Kumar's framework to identify overvalued stocks. Professionals and amateur investors alike will benefit from this fundamental research approach, which transforms short selling into a long-term strategy. 410 0$aColumbia Business School Publishing 606 $aShort selling (Securities) 606 $aStocks$xPrices 606 $aInvestments 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aShort selling (Securities) 615 0$aStocks$xPrices. 615 0$aInvestments. 676 $a332.63/228 700 $aKumar$b Amit$c(Certified Financial Analyst),$0720810 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460530503321 996 $aShort selling$92450884 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04733nam 2200661 450 001 9910827594203321 005 20230807210047.0 010 $a0-8014-5662-2 010 $a0-8014-5544-8 024 7 $a10.7591/9780801455445 035 $a(CKB)2670000000606923 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001461261 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12644009 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001461261 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11470942 035 $a(PQKB)10804023 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3138717 035 $a(OCoLC)1080549244 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse58489 035 $a(DE-B1597)480038 035 $a(OCoLC)905902787 035 $a(OCoLC)979740829 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780801455445 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3138717 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11036245 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL759703 035 $a(OCoLC)922998676 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000606923 100 $a20150414h20152015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aOur Lady of the Rock $evision and pilgrimage in the Mojave Desert /$fLisa M.

Hundreds of men, women, and children follow her into the desert to watch her see what they cannot. While she sees and speaks with the Virgin, onlookers search the skies for signs from heaven, snapping photographs of the sun and sky. Not all of them are convinced that Maria Paula can see the Virgin, yet at each vision event they watch for subtle clues to Mary's presence, such as the unexpected scent of roses or a cloud in the shape of an angel. The visionary depends on her audience to witness and authenticate her visions, while observers rely on Maria Paula and the Virgin to create a sacred space and moment where they, too, can experience firsthand one of the oldest and most fundamental promises of Christianity: direct contact with the divine. Together, visionary and witnesses negotiate and enact their monthly liturgy of revelations. Our Lady of the Rock, which features text by Lisa M. Bitel and more than sixty photographs by Matt Gainer, shows readers what happens in the Mojave Desert each month and tells us how two thousand years of Christian revelatory tradition prepared Maria Paula and her followers to meet in the desert. Based on six years of observation and interviews, chapters analyze the rituals, iconographies, and physical environment of Our Lady of the Rock. Bitel and Gainer also provide vivid portraits of the pilgrims-who they are, where they come from, and how they practice the traditional Christian discernment of spirits and visions. Our Lady of the Rock follows three pilgrims as they return home with relics and proofs of visions where, out of Maria Paula's sight, they too have learned to see the Virgin. The book also documents the public response from the Catholic Church and popular news media to Maria Paula and other contemporary visionaries. Throughout, Our Lady of the Rock locates Maria Paula and her followers in the context of recent demographic and cultural shifts in the American Southwest, the astonishing increase in reported apparitions and miracles from around the world, the latest developments in communications and visual technologies, and the never-ending debate among academics, faith leaders, scientists, and citizen observers about sight, perception, reason, and belief. 606 $aElectronic books 606 $aRELIGION / Christianity / Catholic$2bisacsh 615 0$aElectronic books. 615 7$aRELIGION / Christianity / Catholic. 676 $a232.91/70979495 700 $aBitel$b Lisa M.$f1958-$01098855 702 $aGainer$b Matt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827594203321 996 $aOur Lady of the Rock$94076504 997 $aUNINA
