Nathan Anderson’s company is Hindenburg Research
The founder of Hindenburg is Nathan Anderson. Nathan started looking for a job after graduating in International Business from the University of Connecticut, USA. After this, he started working in a data research company and did research work related to money investment here. While working, he learned the nuances of data and stock market and he understood that the stock market is the biggest hub of capitalists in the world.
Understood the nuances and formed my own company
While working, Nathan Anderson began to understand that a lot of things were happening in the stock market, which were beyond the understanding of common people. This is where he got the idea of starting his own research company and shorting companies by exposing their irregularities. Moving forward on this, he quit his job and started his own company named Hindenburg in the year 2017. The special thing is that he named his research company after the Hindenburg airship accident that happened in Manchester Township, New Jersey on 6 May 1937.
Hindenburg researches such cases
The main work of Nathan Anderson’s research firm Hindenburg is to do research on the stock market, equity, credit and derivatives. Through this research, the company finds out whether there is any wrongful manipulation of money in the stock market? Are big companies doing account mismanagement for their own benefit? Is any company causing losses to other companies by betting on their shares in the stock market for its own benefit? After thorough research on all these points, the company prepares a detailed report and publishes it.
Nathan Anderson Income Source
Now let’s talk about how Hindenburg earns a lot of money, so let us tell you that this company of Nathan Anderson is an investment firm as well as a short selling company. If we look at the profile of the company, it is an activist short seller and earns billions of rupees through it. Let us tell you that short selling is a type of trading or investment strategy. In this, a person buys stock or securities at a particular price and then sells it when the price is higher, which gives him a huge profit.
This is the whole game of short selling
For example, if a short seller buys a company’s stock with the hope that a stock of Rs 200 will fall to Rs 100 in the future, then he borrows the shares of this company from other brokers in the same hope. After doing this, the short seller sells these borrowed shares to other investors, who are ready to buy it at the price of Rs 200. When, as expected, the company’s stock falls to Rs 100, the short seller buys the shares from the same investors. During the fall, he buys the shares at the price of Rs 100 and returns it to the person from whom he had borrowed it. Accordingly, he gets a huge profit of Rs 100 per share. Under this strategy, Hindenburg earns by shorting companies.
