@richmanparadise: Back in the early days, Mark Cuban didn’t just build companies — he bet against them too 📉 He created Sharesleuth, a platform that relied entirely on public data and real-world verification to expose companies making exaggerated or false claims 🕵️♂️ Investigators would visit locations promoted in press releases — like “new warehouses” — only to find empty sites with no power, no staff, and no real activity 🏚️ Once Sharesleuth published its findings, those stocks often collapsed, and Cuban profited from his short positions 📊 He also famously shorted Yahoo after selling Broadcast.com to them in 1999 🧠 By using covered calls and puts, he protected his capital and grew his wealth as the dot-com bubble burst 💥 #business #money #investing #usa Credit: Flagrant
