Category – Short Selling

Short selling is the practice of selling borrowed assets, such as stocks, with the intention of buying them back at a lower price to profit from a price decline. In trading, short selling is used by traders to capitalize on bearish market conditions. However, it involves high risk, as losses are potentially unlimited if the asset price rises. Short sellers must carefully manage positions, and regulatory restrictions may apply in certain markets to prevent excessive shorting that could destabilize prices.
