Short selling is when you borrow shares of a stock and sell them, hoping to buy them back later at a lower price. Basically, you’re betting that the stock’s value will drop. You might consider it if you think a company is overvalued or if you see some bad news coming that could hurt its stock price. Just keep in mind, it can be risky because if the stock goes up instead, you could lose a lot of money.
