The Friendly Bear

I've been trading small caps on the short side since 2019, and The Friendly Bear is the one podcast I never miss. David breaks down dilution, S‑1s, warrants, and pump and dump setups with real fundamentals, not hype. His focus on risk management and discipline has made me a better, more consistent trader. Honest, practical, and genuinely helpful for both new and experienced traders. Highly recommended.

The Friendly Bear Podcast has helped me look beyond the headline and ask better questions about the stocks I trade. The discussions around dilution, offerings, market psychology, and short selling bring a valuable perspective—especially in small caps, where understanding what’s happening behind a price move matters so much. What I appreciate most is the emphasis on research, critical thinking, and accountability. It pushes me to challenge my assumptions, dig deeper, and build a thesis before putting money on the line. The candid conversations make complex topics approachable while giving me plenty to study afterward. If you’re serious about improving your process and understanding the risks behind the opportunities, this podcast deserves a place in your rotation. Highly recommended!

I have been learning to trade for about a year now, and one of the biggest challenges has been finding guidance I can actually trust. The Friendly Bear podcast became a major part of my journey. David Capablanca brings a level of discipline, seriousness, and authenticity that is rare in the trading world. His interviews and solo episodes consistently deliver real substance. There is no hype, no recycled ideas, and no fluff. Instead, you get genuine insight from someone who has mastered ethical short selling. The way he breaks down patterns, mindset, and market behavior has helped me see the markets in a completely different way. What stands out most is how much you can learn simply by listening to how he thinks. The podcast reflects the same structured and practical approach he brings to Friendly Bear University and now to his book Short Selling Master. If you are serious about improving as a trader, especially if you are exploring the short side, this podcast is one of the best resources available.

The Friendly Bear consistently delivers great interviews. David gets into details that actually matter: preparation, psychology, risk management, technical analysis, and what it really takes to improve. I’ve picked up something useful from countless episodes.
