Description

Selling an asset that the seller does not own, with hopes of buying it back later at a lower price.

Going short means selling an asset you don’t own with the expectation of buying it back at a lower price. This strategy is used to capitalize on anticipated price declines, but it involves the risk of potentially unlimited losses if the price rises.
