I just learnt the meaning of short trading now. Thank you. I will do well to research more on it in order to know better what it means and how and when one can short trade some as to maximize one's profits while, at the same time, minimizing the risks associated with it. STOCK trading is good but risks are plenty in it.A short is when you borrow a stock from a broker to sell and then sell it immediately at it's the current price. The plan would be for the stocks price falls drastically such that you can buy the stock back at a lower price and later return the shares you borrowed to your broker but keeping the difference.
