How Short Selling Works (Short Selling for Beginners)

Smart guy to short Tesla. That was my plan!

Is there an alternative to shorting that removes some of the extreme risk but still allows you to profit from falling stock? Or is regular long positions in the competition the only safe alternative?

What I want to know is , After borrowing the stock, does the short seller have an ability to choose when the shares are sold onto the market say at some later time or date? In other words can a short seller borrow the shares today and choose to have them sold into the market tomorrow ?

Finally i understand it! 😅
Thanks

If they don’t pay the money back does Quido break their legs

yes but how do you short it, when u buy stock you just purchase it, how do u make it a short position? I don't see where you are making it a short, you just bought a share

Why would a broker make a deal that devalues their stock?

Why is borrowing a stock even possible? What is the base reason, besides SHORTING? Thanks

Thanks!

Excellent explanation! Thank you.

Excellent explanation!

Trailing Stop loss
For a long position, an investor places a trailing stop loss below the current market price. For a short position, a trailing stop loss triggers an exit when the price increases above the current market price. Could you place place an advancing stop loss above the current price? In other words to protect yourself in the event the market goes up against you

I want to get low then get high 🔥

I understand entirely the trailing stop-loss strategy on a stock that is going up. What about the opposite approach when a stock is shorted. For example, you short a stock with a 10% protection. If it goes against you(up) by 10%, the stock has to be bought back, hence generating some loss but protection. Is there such a strategy?

Thank you Arvabelle for explaining this to me like I'm 5. This is the only video I've found that didn't use technical terms.

Good video. Thanks.

Is it reasonable to keep the short for overnight or several days? Or that it is for day trade?
Thanks
And I would like to compliment that your accent is so easy to understand!

That was an excellent breakdown of shorting. Thank you.

This is the best explanatory video on short selling I've ever seen! You've made it so simple to understand. Thank you!

Great!

Thank you! You have explained it best. Once you said that the 1000 gets credited to his account I fully understood.

Hell yesssssss!!!!!!

Can you put a STOP LOSS ORDER on a Short Sell Order?
If so... How do you go about it?
As opposed to a STOP LOSS that STOPS and SELL...
Does it STOP LOSS at the price you set and... BUY to COVER ???

i finally get it - this was really helpful!

If I don't' pay them back are they going to send bad dudes with baseball bats to my place?

I take a middle position.

SHORT SELLERS WILL LOSE LOTS LOTS OF $$$! Investors believe market will keep going down. They SELL & start SHORTING STOCKS, Smart money will SQUEEZE those brainless, get their $$. SQUEEZE THEM LIKE GAMESTOP!!!

Shorting is basically Buying a Put......if the stock drops in value...you win.

I've watched video after video on short selling, and this is the absolute best explanation of short selling and how it works. You also just gained a subscriberrr...Thank you!! 🌠

I really love the way you explain. Good work girl!

I dont know how the shorting has unlimited downside when the price of the stock goes up infinitely. I mean if my brokerage takes collateral, lets say $500 for lending me $1000 to short sell tesla stock and then worst case scenario my brokers will only take my $500 collateral during margin call. Am I understanding this correctly? I'm new to trading. So please explain this scenario to me, someone.

Beautifully explained, thank you!

Short trading should be banned on any type of trading platform and never be called an "investment". ..it is GAMBLING. Should only be allowed in casinos. Mixing it with investments is misleading

Great explanation. Thank you.

Shorting is easy when u have big money, or ... People's united to short a stock, GameStop stock for instance
