Going short. (or “shorting”) means selling an invest- ment in the expectation that its price will fall so that it can be bought back later at a lower price. “Going long” (but please – not “longing”!) is what most inves- tors do: it means buying an investment in the expecta- tion that it can be sold later at a higher price.

More Definitions of Going short

Going short means that an investor takes a selling position on the underlying asset because the investor believes the value of that asset will decline and wants to profit from the decline. With stocks, a short seller who is betting on such a price decline needs to locate a supply of stock to borrow, borrow the shares, sell them, pay a high short-term interest rate called broker loan on the borrowing, and pay the dividend on the stock back to its owner. This can be a time-consuming and expensive process. When going short, single stock futures, arguably, have an advantage. In futures, an investor can bet on a price decline by selling the future. There are no special rules that prevent an investor from selling on a downtick, there are no stock borrowing procedures or situations where shares are difficult or unavailable to borrow, and there are no special, higher interest rates involved.
