Whether the Dow Jones Industrial Average is on the rise or is falling there inevitably will be extended bear markets that will give the short seller and put buyer substantial opportunities for rich profits. Tools of the Bear: How Any Investor Can Make Money When Stocks Go Down shows investors how to make money when stocks are declining in price, without taking undue risk. Unlike other investment books, Tools of the Bear makes no attempt to show all the ways to play the market; it concentrates, instead, on three proven strategies: selling stocks short, buying puts and selling calls.

Are stocks with high P/E ratios good candidates for short selling? Is low trading volume in a stock an indication the stock will go down? Are in-the-money options always the best bet? Must you either be a buyer or a seller of a put or call? A text on the important rules, tools and arithmetic of playing for profit, this impressive volume offers alternate strategies for the small-money independent investor reluctant to tie up large amounts of cash for extended periods of time.
