Short selling allows investors to bet against a stock, profiting when it falls in price. Today we are going to talk about short selling, what it is, how it works, the risks involved and what you need to know about it. We will talk about how you can enhance the returns of your portfolio by lending out your shares to short sellers, and at the end of the video we will see what the returns of short selling hedge funds look like in the long run. We walk through the pros and cons of shorting stocks and how you short a stock in your online trading software.
