"I used to think that good short-sellers could be trained like long-focused value investors because it should be the same skill set; youâ€™re tearing into the numbers, youâ€™re valuing the businesses, youâ€™re assigning a consolidated value, and hopefully youâ€™re seeing something the market doesnâ€™t see.But now Iâ€™ve learned that thereâ€™s a big difference between a long-focused value investor and a good short-seller. That difference is psychological and I think it falls into the realm of behavioral finance."
