shorts just turn around the buy low sell high thing. their goal is to bet against the stock and profit from it. when a stock has a lot of shorts in it. that means there are a lot of people who have serious conviction, conviction that the stock's going lower. and it takes more to short a stock than it does to go long. because when you're short, the potential downside is infinite, right? they can keep going higher. when you're long, a stock stops losing money when it hits zero, like when you hit the floor. shorts lose money when stocks go higher, and there is no lid on that. >> the house of pain. >> the other important note about shorts is that if there's a lot of them and a stock all of a sudden gets some great news, we get what is called a short squeeze. and it sounds exactly what it is. in order to bail on their positions, to run from their mistakes, the shorts can't just say, listen, i'm going to sell it. no, they've got to buy. they have to create actual buys that then drive the stock up because there's not a lot of supply. this is c

if the stock falls and makes a new low underneath the immediately prior low, then you know you're wrong and you got to sell, okay? you don't want to take a lot of pain. if the stock sinks below this line, bollinger thinks it's sunk. that move down tells you the buyers aren't as interested in the blowout rally isn't happening. but it's only a short distance between where you would boy and where you made a mistake. the reward could be monumental. when the stock doesn't drop, you can catch a rally larger than the stock's trading range before the breakout. bollinger knows this stuff. best of all, you don't need any fancy trading programs or knowledge to make this work. there is no mumbo-jumbo chicken gumbo. you can plot these charts at home. you can trace them and just remember when you see this bollinger pattern, you know it's bullish. "mad money" is back after the break. even during times like these, there is a light beginning to shine again. it comes from a restaurant downtown. a shop on main street. a factory around the corner. entrepreneurs like these are the most powerful force in the
