About Short selling
- It is a trading strategy based on the expectation that the price of the security will fall.
- It is an investment or trading strategy that speculates on the decline in a stock or other security’s price.
- It occurs when an investor borrows a security and sells it on the open market, planning to buy it back later for less money.
- Short sellers bet on, and profit from, a drop in a security’s price. This can be contrasted with long investors who want the price to go up.
- Short selling has a high risk/reward ratio: It can offer big profits, but losses can mount quickly and infinitely due to margin calls.
