    The only thing that confuses me is the negative bets and how they get money from that. (is it basically predicting a company to fail?) I'm really new to all of this so I am probably way off, but everything else made perfect sense.

      if they expect a company's shares to decline in value they will sell now or SHORT (using borrowed shares) and buy it back later at a lower price ie sell at 9 buy at 6 later earn 3. hope this helps :-)

    Pretty much unrelated to the video but wanted to know your opinion between the CFA IMC and CISI IAD in terms of a greater prospect.
    IAD had a focus on securities but the CFA has a bigger reputation? Not sure which one to choose
    I'll be starting as a 1st-year student at Lancaster. I've already finished Level 3 in International wealth & investment certificate for CISI.

    This is not really accurate. A hedge fund is a specific type of legal structure and not strategy. You can have long/short hedge funds and UCITS funds that can (and do) follow the exact same mandate. The only difference being the risk and regulatory burden as dictated by the legal structure.

      I‘m not sure but i believe to go short would mean to be more active with your investments and focusing on fast success. Selling and Rebuying in a short timespan. To go long on the other hand implies a more sat-back way of handling your investments, you aim for long term success so your investment pays off after several years of waiting

If you think the stock will continue to go up you place a call and if you think it’ll go down you place a put (aka shorting a stock). If the stock goes up on a call you make money but if it goes down you lose money vice versa with a put.
