Falcon Research was founded by its President, Kurt Feshbach, who has 26 years of experience in successfully shorting stocks. In 1982, Kurt founded the first short-only fund, Feshbach Brothers, which grew successfully and reached $1 billion in assets under management by 1990.

Since closing Feshbach Brothers in 1993, Mr. Feshbach has been running Falcon Research, Inc., a member of the FINRA and SIPC, to provide research and brokerage services to institutional and individual clients. The Falcon personnel working on its “Short Reports” include professionals experienced in short selling from various perspectives such as portfolio managers, traders and equity analysts.

Statement from Kurt Feshbach:

“There is far more money (in the billions) chasing shorts today than during the ‘80’s and ‘90’s. When I started shorting, stocks with a 30 or 40 million dollar market cap were common; today it really wouldn’t be very worthwhile. Many of our early-day stocks might not make it out of the penny stock markets now. Smaller promoters would rather see something go from .05 cents to .25 cents rather then $5 to $25, where shorts might become attracted to them.  Also fraud and misrepresentation are just as rampant today as they were in the 80’s and 90’s, although they are probably more clever and are certainly on a much larger scale.”
