What is short selling? What does selling short mean? How do you short sell a stock? What is live trading? And is it all worth it?
There are way too many questions on this topic and we need answers, now!
Don't worry, our team broke this subject down with the purpose of demystifying short selling and bringing it closer to us ordinary folk that aren't Jeff Bezos or George Soros. In this video, we'll dive deep into short selling, explaining exactly how it works and where it all began.
Here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll learn after watching this short selling introduction video:
What is short selling and what to the terms 'going long and short in trading' even mean?
How long selling works, along with a brief introduction to stock selling for beginners.
Some need-to-know stock market basics and an explanation of how the stock market works.
How do investors profit from investing in undesirable stocks once the price goes down.
What is a maintenance margin, what are the requirements and what is the main difference between a maintenance margin and an initial margin.
What is the best strategy for short selling stocks, and who is this mysterious short selling legend called George Soros that has been doing it so successfully for years now?
Finally, we'll conclude by answering the questions on everyone's mind: Is there potential for profit, just how risky short selling is and is it even worth it?
Let us know what you think of our video in the comments below and if you have your own opinion of short selling and all of the wonders of the stock market! We'd love to start a discussion!

This video helped me realize an epiphany. I was wondering,"but how does it drive price down?" Then I realized it's because you're introducing more supply without increasing demand, so the price goes down. The short seller is borrowing shares from shareholders to increase the float!

Just saw the GameStop doc on short selling in the first 10 minutes. Help me understand this: they said if they borrow a stock like IBM for 10 dollars from someone. Wait for it to go to 20 percent loss, so 8 dollars. Then sell it back to the person and make 2 dollars. But won't they be selling that stock to the original owner at 8 dollars? So now the owner is out 2 less dollars and the hedge fund broker pockets 2 dollars. That doesn't make sense. The owner lost 2 dollars for the broker to gain 2 dollars. WTF? Do people not see this. And am I missing something? Please let me know.

You aren’t selling the stock back to the person. You are selling it back to the market. And the person you borrowed from is holding the stock anyways. They are holding the stock because they think it will go up. I’m not sure where you’re making up this magical $2 for the broker in your head but you need to rethink it.

Would you ever try short selling? Or would you rather swim with alligators? Let us know your thoughts! And also, did you notice that red button up there that says ‘subscribe’? Hit it and see the magic it creates.

Just to confirm, the lender can demand the stock back at any time and you must buy the stock and give it back immediately?

so if i borrow the shares from investor, with a strike price 4 weeks from the date i bought them, youre saying the person who loaned me the shares to short could ask for them back before it hits the strike price I want to sell at? I thought they had no idea thier shares were being used to short?

Basically you borrow a stock from somebody without them knowing it then you create cell pressure that drives the price down and tricks people into selling everything off then you buy the stock back and give it back to the seller who just lost money cuz you screwed them over

the only video that explained "borrowing" a stock. Ignore all the videos that have 1+ million videos, or any damn website that doesn't explain the borrowing part, without knowing this it is super confusing.

My guess is because they are betting you are wrong and the are happy to collect the interest fee for borrowing. Basically as there would be with any loan. In the end they can’t loose money as long as they don’t sell the stock themselves below what they paid for them originally. It’s all gambling at the end of the day

Short sellers don't simply borrow shares and hope for the share price to drop. They borrow shares and sell them below current stock price.
